"Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings was not chosen as one of the all-star reserves by Eastern Conference coaches.

The coaches' picks were announced in a TNT telecast Thursday night before the game between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.

Jennings had put himself in the running with some striking performances, including his 31-point, eight-assist, four-steal effort against Miami on Feb. 1.

But the conference coaches selected Atlanta Hawks veteran Joe Johnson and New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams as reserves. Also chosen for the East squad were Miami forward Chris Bosh, Boston forward Paul Pierce, Chicago forward Luol Deng, Indiana center Roy Hibbert and Philadelphia forward Andre Iguodala."
