The reserves are voted on by the league’s 30 head coaches every year. Each coach votes for seven players in their respective conference: two guards, three frontcourt players, and two wild card players at either position. Coaches are not allowed to vote for players on their own teams. If any of the All-Stars cannot play in the game, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will select a replacement player from the same conference as the player.
