Star reserves who will make the trip to San Francisco to rep their respective teams in the All-Star game. The Philadelphia 76ers didn't have anybody named a starter this year--normally a spot reserved for Joel Embiid--so their only hope was to have Tyrese Maxey named a reserve.

Tyrese Maxey has emerged as the new leader of the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2024-25 NBA season, especially in light of Joel Embiid’s recurring absences. Recently, the guard spoke about stepping into this new role and the challenges it has brought.
