This years NBA All-Star game rosters were announced with some notable names left off the list. Every year there are players that get snubbed from playing in the exhibition game, and this season was no different. Among those guys left on the outside looking in, is Phoenix Sun’s star Devin Booker.
The Western Conference is stacked with talent this season and earning a spot was no easy task. The 12 players making the trip this year were:
LeBron James, Lakers
Kevin Durant, Suns
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets
Jalen Williams, Thunder
Anthony Davis, Lakers
Alpern Sengun, Rockets
James Harden, Clippers
Jaren Jackson Jr., Grizzlies
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs
Stephen Curry, Warriors
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves
This left out a few stars including Kyrie Irving from the Mavericks, Ja Morant from the Grizzlies and of course Booker from the Suns. Booker is currently one of just two players in the West to be in the Top-15 for both scoring and assists. Booker is also one of just three Western Conference guards with at least 14 30-point games this season.
