Once again, Jayson Tatum is an official All-Star starter.
I apologize, Boston Celtics supporters.Derrick White isn’t a starting All-Star.
Remain calm. It’s Jayson Tatum.
Making his sixth consecutive All-Star appearance, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Haliburton, Damian Lillard, and Giannis Antetokounmpo will open with Tatum.
In his first career start, he scored an All-Star record 55 points, winning MVP honors.
As of Thursday’s games, the Celtics had the best record in the NBA (34-10) and Tatum is averaging 27 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists.
