Young, Irving appointed replacements for injury to the All-Star game

Atlanta’s guard, brings Young, goes to the NBA stars game after all, and Dallas Guard, Kyrie Irving, has also been chosen once again.

Commissioner Adam Silver announced Monday that Young added to the All-Star list as a replacement of injuries for Milwaukee striker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will not be able to play due to a calf injury. Later on Monday, Silver chose Irving as the replacement of injuries for his teammate of the MAVs, Anthony Davis, with an injury in the groin.

Young was originally disgusted when he was not chosen for the game through the vote for the headlines or the selections of coaches’ reserve players. “It is ‘moving’ at this time,” he wrote on social networks, coining a new word in reaction to being rejected.

Young is the NBA attendance leader this season and now a selection of four times All-Star. The star game, now a mini three -game tournaments, is Sunday in San Francisco.

Young will replace Antetokounmpo in Team Chuck, the team of eight men recruited last week by TNT analyst Charles Barkley. Antetokounmpo was the fourth of the 24 players recruited by Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith to the stars lists.

Young joins a list with a decidedly international sensation. He will play with Nikola Jokic (Serbia) of Denver, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the city of Oklahoma (Canada), Victor Wembanyama (France) of San Antonio, Pascal Siakam (Cameroon) of Houston (Turkey), New York cities in New York York (whose mother is Dominican) and Donovan Mitchell de Cleveland (whose mother is from Panama).

Young leads the NBA in assists by game by a significant margin; He entered Monday with an average of 11.4, far ahead of Jokic’s 10.3 per game.

This is the second consecutive year that Young was added to the list as a replacement of injuries. He also made appearances in All-Star in 2020 and 2022.

Davis left his debut with the Mavericks with an injury on Saturday and is expected to lose several weeks. Irving, the MVP All-Star 2014, is now a selection of nine times.

Irving joins the Shaq team as Davis’s replacement, which also presents the former Los Angeles Lakers teammate from Davis, LeBron James, Stephen Curry by Golden State, teammates from Boston Jays Tatum and Jaylen Brown from Phoenix, Damian Lillard de Milwaukee and the James Hardenix of the Los Angeles of Los Angeles de los Angeles. .

The other all-stars selected for the game are in the Kenny team: Anthony Edwards of Minnesota, Jalen Brunnson of New York, Jaren Jackson Jr., Jalen Williams of Oklahoma City, Cleveland’s teammates, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, Detroit Cunningham and Tyler Herro de Miami de Miami, Herro de Miami de Miami, Herro de Miami de Miami, from Miami, De Detroit. .
