MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard has been selected as a reserve for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, the team announced Thursday. This marks Lillard’s second All-Star Game nod in as many seasons with Milwaukee and the ninth overall of his career. The reserves for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game were selected by NBA head coaches.

Damian Lillard will once again represent the Bucks in the all-star game, and Whitnall High School grad Tyler Herro earned his first all-star nod for the Miami Heat.

The Milwaukee Bucks are still viewed as a potential Jimmy Butler suitor, but they reportedly want to make a trade regardless of him.

The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to be one of the more active teams ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Milwaukee has been looking to upgrade its roster before the deadline ends as it tries to position itself for the postseason.

The Jimmy Butler trade saga is starting to heat up as the Feb. 6 trade deadline draws near. The veteran forward was recently handed an indefinite suspension by the Miami Heat, which could ease the way to him being traded in the coming days.
