The reserve pool will be announced next week. As a reminder of how the new All-Star system works, the team captains (James and Antetokounmpo) will draft their teams from the starter pool and reserve pool in two separate rounds, irregardless of conference. The “NBA All-Star Draft Show” will air on February 7 on TNT at 6:00 PM CT.
