Victor Wembanyama has expressed his frustration with the officials following San Antonio Spurs' aching 128-116 loss to Los Angeles Clippers at the Frost Bank Center on Wednesday.
The Spurs are in prime position to make major waves at the NBA Trade Deadline, potentially acquiring one of the biggest stars in the game.
The starters for the Eastern and Western Conference All-Star Game teams were announced Thursday night. Some big names didn't make the list.
Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.
One person who is very aware of the challenges that Wembanyama presents is Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, who recently had high praise for the sophomore superstar ahead of the matchup with the Spurs, per the NBA on X.
After revealing the starters for the All-Star Game last week, the league finalized the rosters, announcing the reserves for the annual showcase on NBA on TNT on Thursday night.

San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama has been chosen for his first NBA All-Star Game as one of seven reserves from the Western Conference.
The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.
Minnesota coach Chris Finch didn't see the end of his team's game in Phoenix on Wednesday night, but he certainly had to like what transpired after he was ejected.
