The NBA announced its 2025 All-Star reserves on Thursday. The Oklahoma City Thunder will have two representatives at the star-studded weekend as Jalen Williams was named a first-time All-Star player.

Brunson and Towns represent the first pair of Knicks teammates to start in the All-Star Game since 1975, when Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and Walt “Clyde” Frazier donned the orange and blue.
