The Cavs will have three players in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Donovan Mitchell was named as a starter earlier this month.

Darius Garland can cancel Cabo. Garland, who booked a getaway to Mexico during NBA All-Star Weekend just in case the results didn’t go in his favor, was named a 2025 NBA All-Star reserve on Thursday night.
