Stats Don’t Lie
With the Milwaukee Bucks star out due to injury, it only makes sense for the Atlanta Hawks’ leading guard to step up. Young has been putting up impressive numbers this season—23.5 points and 11.4 assists per game. He’ll be teaming up with rookie sensation Zaccharie Risacher in sunny California, ensuring that the rookie doesn’t roam too far from the hotel!
The All-Star Lineup
Young will join an all-star squad led by the likes of Victor Wembanyama, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Pascal Siakam, Alperen Sengun, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Donovan Mitchell.
