The NBA unveiled the reserves for its 2016 All-Star game today, with three players being named for the first time.
Two of those new players, Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics and Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons, will feature in the Eastern Conference team. They line up alongside second-time All-Stars Jimmy Butler (Chicago Bulls) and DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors), with three-time All-Stars John Wall (Washington Wizards) and Paul Millsap (Atlanta Hawks) getting the nod too.
The Miami Heat's Chris Bosh is the only All-Star veteran on the East's bench, being named to the event for the 11th time. It marks a great achievement for Bosh, who missed a lot of last season with serious illness.
Draymond Green is the new name of the Western Conference team, joining Golden State Warriors team mates Klay Thomopson and starter Stephen Curry.
LA Clippers point guard Chris Paul returns for his ninth appearance, while James Harden of the Houston Rockets was named for the fourth time.
Big men round out the roster, with LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs), Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans) and DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings) all winning spots.
The game will be played on the final day of All-Star weekend, to be held in Toronto next month.
