Star reserves were unveiled Thursday night on TNT’s Inside the NBA and officially confirmed by the league shortly after. A total of 14 players will join the 10 starters in San Francisco on February 16.

Ira Winderman’s perspectives and other items of note from the Miami Heat’s Wednesday night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs are rolling thanks in large part to Garland's play, but the East — and Cleveland's — backcourt is a crowded one.

MIAMI – One day before Miami Heat star Tyler Herro finds out if he is an All-Star or not, the team loses to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, 126-106. As the standoff between the Heat and Jimmy Butler continues, the team is still finding a way to find some semblance and consistency.

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra is a believer that Tyler Herro should be an All-Star reserve, which won't be announced until Thursday.

This is an extremely well-deserved nod for the 25 year-old, former Kentucky Wildcats star. In his sixth season, Herro has exploded as an offensive juggernaut for Miami, averaging 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Now he heads out West for the NBA's All-Star Game.

This is the fourth time in franchise history that the Cavaliers have earned three NBA All-Star selections (1989, 1993 and 2017). Other Eastern Conference reserves include: Jaylen Brown (Boston), Pascal Siakim (Indiana), Cade Cunningham (Detroit), Damian Lillard (Milwaukee) and Tyler Herro (Miami).

Jaylen Brown was announced Thursday as one of the seven All-Star reserves from the Eastern Conference. It was the third straight All-Star nod and fourth in the last five years for Brown, who will join East starter Jayson Tatum at the midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.
