NBA 2024-25: Trae Young To Replace Injured Giannis On Team Chuck For 2025 All-Star Game
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver: Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has been named by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace injured Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo on Team Chuck in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Young has earned his fourth NBA All-Star selection. He is averaging 23.5 points and an NBA-leading 11.4 assists per game in 49 games this season.
Antetokounmpo is unable to participate in the NBA All-Star Game because of a left calf strain. The nine-time NBA All-Star was drafted onto Team Chuck by its general manager Charles Barkley.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers confirmed Antetokounmpo’s status on Sunday, with the team ruling him out of the game against Philadelphia 76ers and indicating that he’ll likely also be out for games Monday at home against Golden State and Wednesday at Minnesota. “We’ve just been monitoring it, and it just hasn’t improved enough for us to play him. If this was a playoff game, would he play? Probably yes. But this is not. And we want to make sure he’s playing in the playoffs,” said Rivers.
