Julius Randle was selected to represent the Knicks at the upcoming NBA All-Star Game, but Jalen Brunson was not.
Randle will make his second All-Star appearance in three years after being named one of seven reserves out of the Eastern Conference for the midseason showcase event on Feb. 19 in Salt Lake City.
“I think both are deserving,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said before the selections were announced on TNT. “I think Julius had a monster year all season and I’m hopeful Jalen gets recognized for the contributions that he made.” The East’s starters are Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Kevin Durant of the Nets and Jayson Tatum of the Celtics in the frontcourt, along with guards Donovan Mitchell of the Cavaliers and Kyrie Irving of the Nets.Randle endured a step-back season last year after winning the league’s Most Improved Player award and being named second-team All-NBA in 2020-21. But he entered Thursday’s game registering career bests of 24.7 points and 10.
