The All-Star replacements for Joel Embiid and Julius Randle have been named.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid and New York Knicks forward Julius Randle were recently picked to represent the Eastern Conference in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. Unfortunately, both stars will be forced to miss this year’s festivities due to injuries. As a result, the NBA has named Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young and Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes the two injury replacements for the All-Star Game.
For Young, this will be his third All-Star appearance. Barnes will be making the first All-Star appearance of his career after being named as a replacement.
More details to come shortly.
