After it was announced that Giannis Antetokounmpo would miss the All-Star game with a calf injury, Trae Young will now be his replacement, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.

“Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young will be named an Eastern Conference All-Star reserve to replace Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf),” Haynes tweeted on X, formerly Twitter.

The spot is well deserved for Young, as some people thought that he was the biggest snub from the original selection of All-Stars. Young is currently averaging 23.5 and 11.4 assists per game and is leading the lead with the most total assists.

This selection will now make Young a four-time All-Star in his career.
