Of the 24 players who will make up the three eight-man teams for the revamped All-Star Game on Feb. 16 in San Francisco, Brown was the last pick.

Tatum will be a starting player for the Eastern Conference team, the league announced last week, while it was announced on Thursday that Brown will be a reserve player.

LeBron James was the first pick of the new-look 2025 NBA All-Star draft Thursday night and was soon joined by a now-former teammate -- Anthony Davis.

For the fourth time in his NBA career, Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown has been named as an All-Star for the Eastern Conference.

Jaylen Brown was announced Thursday as one of the seven All-Star reserves from the Eastern Conference. It was the third straight All-Star nod and fourth in the last five years for Brown, who will join East starter Jayson Tatum at the midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.

Jaylen Brown scored 28 points and Jayson Tatum added 27, including a tiebreaking jumper with 0.2 seconds left, as the visiting Boston Celtics held off the New Orleans Pelicans 118-116 on Friday night.

The Celtics will have multiple players at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game after Jaylen Brown was selected as a reserve. He joins Jayson Tatum.

The NBA All-Star Draft took place today with TNT’s Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith picking the teams that will be competing in this year’s All-Star Game. Both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum were selected to be a part of Team Shaq.
