The NBA is set to announce this year’s All-Star Game reserves Thursday night. Here are The Post’s picks to round out the rosters next month in San Francisco.
The San Antonio Spurs ' Harrison Barnes knocked down a three-pointer as Zubac sent Wembanyama flying into his own bench as the shot went through the net. Wembanyama quickly got up to chase after Zubac but was stopped by coaches and teammates. No technical fouls were handed out following the play.

But beyond the final score, the game’s biggest talking point came when Spurs rising star Victor Wembanyama found himself on the receiving end of a hard shove from Clippers center Ivica Zubac. The moment led to a rare visible frustration from Wembanyama, who attempted to confront Zubac before being held back by teammates and coaches.

Zubac yelled at the officials earlier in the third quarter for not calling a foul on Harrison Barnes after the Spurs forward blocked his layup. The frustration boiled over when Wembanyama blocked Zubac's attempted dunk with 4:49 remaining in the third quarter and no foul was called.
