Now that we know the official starting lineups for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, we can't help but notice that there were some notable omissions.

Even though the format of the game is a bit different, the voting method remains the same. The results to determine the starting lineup are once again calculated based on a weighted system from fan voting, media voting, as well as player voting.

While we have our usual suspects like Nikola Jokic in the West and Giannis Antetokounmpo in the East, there are some notable omissions as well.

Here are a few of the players who will have to earn the spot as a reserve based on voting from NBA head coaches. We will find out which of those players get the nod on January 30.
