Trae Young Replaces Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2025 NBA All-Star Game

The Atlanta Hawks guard was selected as an injury replacement for the Milwaukee Bucks star, sidelined with a calf strain.

Trae Young, averaging 23.5 points and a league-leading 11.4 assists this season, was named to his fourth All-Star Game after initially being snubbed.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP averaging 31.8 points and 12.2 rebounds, will miss the game due to a left calf strain.
Young will join Team Chuck, led by TNT analyst Charles Barkley, in the All-Star Game’s new mini-tournament format in San Francisco on February 16.
Antetokounmpo’s injury marks his fourth consecutive missed game, with the Bucks prioritizing his long-term health ahead of the playoffs.
This is the second consecutive year Young has been added as an injury replacement, further highlighting his consistent impact on the court.
