The 2024 NBA All-Star Game will be here before you know it.

On Thursday, Jan. 25, the starters for this year's All-Star Game will be revealed. The focus will then shift to the 14 players who will be named All-Star reserves and, of course, the players who will have been snubbed.

There's a long list of deserving All-Stars this season, so both lists will feature notable names.

When will All-Star reserves be announced? Here's everything you need to know.

When are reserves for the NBA All-Star Game announced?

  • Date: Thursday, Feb. 1
  • TV channel: TNT
  • Live stream: Sling TV

On Thursday, Feb. 1, the reserves for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game will be revealed.

The announcement will come during TNT's NBA Tip-Off, which begins at 7:00 p.m. ET. TNT will broadcast two games that night: Lakers vs. Celtics at 7:30 p.m., followed by 76ers vs. Jazz at 10 p.m.

Viewers can stream those matchups and the biggest games of the NBA season with Sling TV.

Sling TV is now offering HALF OFF your first month! Sling base packages (Sling Orange or Sling Blue) start at just $20 for your first month, or you can get Sling Orange + Blue starting at $27.50 for your first month.

Who selects the NBA All-Star Game reserves?

Unlike the starters, who are voted on by the fans, a media panel and all current players, the NBA All-Star Game reserves are selected by the league's head coaches.

If needed, commissioner Adam Silver will choose injury replacements.

In 2023, Silver had to select three injury replacements: Pascal Siakam for Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards for Zion Williamson and De'Aaron Fox for Stephen Curry.
