NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced Monday that he has added Atlanta Hawks’ guard Trae Young to the NBA All-Star Game roster as an injury replacement for Milwaukee Bucks’ forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is unable to play due to a calf injury.

Young recently expressed displeasure about being snubbed from the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, through the balloting for the starters or the coaches’ selections of reserve players.  He wrote on social media at the time: “It’s getting ‘Traed’ at this point”  (coining a new word in reaction to being snubbed).

Young, 26, is the NBA’s assist leader this season and now a four-time All-Star selection; he replaces Antetokounmpo on Team Chuck, the eight-man squad drafted last week by Charles Barkley. Young averaged 23.5 points and a league-high 11.4 assists, in addition to 3.2 rebounds per game through 49 starts this season. After the announcement was made, Young wrote Monday on social media: “Some things in life are just bigger than yourself”  

The NBA All-Star Game, a four-team, three mini-game tournament, will start at 8 p.m. EST Sunday at Chase Center in San Francisco.
