The 2026 NBA Western Conference All-Star reserves are in: Anthony Edwards, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Deni Avdija, and LeBron James. But fans are buzzing about the biggest snubs of the West.
Who got robbed?
Kawhi Leonard (Clippers) – A fan favorite and impact player, yet completely left off the roster despite strong numbers. The fact that the game is in L.A. makes this even more shocking.
Alperen Şengün (Rockets) – With consistent production and versatility, many expected him to sneak in over a few of the chosen reserves.
Josh Giddey (Thunder) – The Aussie star has been lighting up the floor, but an All-Star nod still eludes him.
Other snub mentions: Lauri Markkanen (Jazz), James Harden (Clippers), Dillon Brooks (Suns).
The West is stacked this year, which made leaving these stars out inevitable but that doesn’t stop fans from calling foul.
