00:00For the Phoenix Suns faithful, I've got some major all-star news to break down for you first.
00:06The big congratulations are in order for Devin Booker. Our star guard was named a reserve for
00:10the 2026 NBA All-Star Game this past Sunday. This marks Booker's fifth all-star appearance
00:16of his incredible career and it's a welcome return, being his first selection since 2024
00:20after he missed out last season. The numbers back it up. In his 11th campaign, Book is averaging
00:2425,4 points, 4 rebounds and 6,2 assists. We all know he's been sidelined for the past four games
00:31due to that ankle injury suffered on Jan 23, but this honor shows just how much respect he's earned
00:36around the league. Now let's talk about a son who many, including analysts, feel was snubbed.
00:43Dylan Brooks. In his first season in Phoenix after coming over from Houston in the Kevin Durant trade,
00:48Brooks is having a career year. He was not among the reserves announced Sunday.
00:52In his ninth year, he's putting up 21,1 points per game on 44,48% shooting from the field,
01:01both career highs. A strong case, for sure. Here's the full list, so you have all the facts,
01:072026 NBA All-Star Reserves.

02:31the Los Angeles Clippers. This year features a brand new format, USA vs. The World. It's a round-robin
02:38tournament. They'll form two teams of American players and a third team of international players
02:43after the round-robin games. The top two teams, with the best record, will face off in the
