Trae Young Replaces Giannis Antetokounmpo For All-Star Game

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Commissioner Adam Silver has formally announced Giannis Antetokounmpo’s replacement as outstanding guard Trae Young.

Due to Antetokounmpo being sidelined through All-Star weekend with a calf injury, Silver had to make an on-the-fly adjustment and select a new player. While it isn’t Milwaukee’s superstar, Young is still a phenomenal pick.

Right now, the 26-year-old is leading the league in assists (11.4) and is averaging 23.5 points per game. Young was considered a snub in this year’s All-Star selection.

With him added to the weekend, this will be Young’s fourth All-Star appearance in seven seasons.

The East’s replacement has been resolved, as the West’s replacement is expected to be announced soon by Silver. Anthony Davis was selected to participate in the game, but suffering a strained adductor in his Mavericks debut game has soured that opportunity.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks will be sidelining Giannis Antetokounmpo through the All-Star Weekend due to a calf injury.

Milwaukee diagnosed him with a mild calf strain, as he’s missed the past couple of games due to various injuries of the calf and knee.

Commissioner Adam Silver will pick his replacement in the coming week. Despite the league shifting it to mini-rosters for the tournament, the replacement will still come from the Eastern Conference.

Bucks Only Trading Giannis Antetokounmpo If He Wants It

According to Mark Stein, while the Milwaukee Bucks have no interest in trading Giannis Antetokounmpo themselves, they will trade him if that’s what the superstar wants.

“It is understood quite clearly in 29 other front offices that Antetokounmpo is only ever going to be made available for trade if he pushes for it.”

Many teams, like the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets, have been attached to the rumors and reports of wanting to trade for Antetokounmpo.

Currently, Milwaukee is 2-8 to begin the season, which has sparked conversations of Giannis being frustrated and wanting to leave the franchise.

As of right now, both sides remain committed to each other. The 29-year-old is under contract until the 2027 season, which would see him become an unrestricted free agent.
