Oklahoma City\u0027s Shai Gilgeous\u002DAlexander, Joel Embiid, and Portland\u0027s Damian Lillard had to have known they were going to the all\u002Dstar game
The reserves for the Feb. 19 all-star Game in Salt Lake City were announced Thursday night. From the Eastern Conference, it was Embiid, Adebayo, Haliburton, Boston’s Jaylen Brown, Chicago’s DeMar DeRozan, Milwaukee’s Jrue Holiday and New York’s Julius Randle.“It’s everything,” DeRozan said. “I just hope anybody out there, whatever field you work in, never listens to the outside noise, to people doubting you, counting you out, everything.
He was an easy pick. Other candidates probably were tougher for coaches to pass on — that list including Phoenix’s Devin Booker, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis, Atlanta’s Trae Young, all of them averaging around 27 points per game this season. Philadelphia’s James Harden, averaging 11 assists per game, also was left out; unless he’s picked as an injury replacement, his streak of 10 consecutive all-star appearances is over.
“It means a lot,” Morant said on the TNT broadcast of the announcements. “Obviously, it shows my work that I’ve put in day in and day out. … Hopefully, Jaren gets picked on the same team as me.” Durant and Williamson are currently out with injuries. If either of them, or any other all-star selection, cannot play for whatever reason then the task of replacing them falls on Commissioner Adam Silver.Article content
