The Celtics will have multiple players at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game after Jaylen Brown was selected as a reserve. He joins Jayson Tatum.
The reigning NBA Finals MVP is averaging 23.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game for the Celtics, who sit second in the Eastern Conference.
Jaylen Brown was announced Thursday as one of the seven All-Star reserves from the Eastern Conference. It was the third straight All-Star nod and fourth in the last five years for Brown, who will join East starter Jayson Tatum at the midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.
Brown is joined by other reserves, including Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard, Cleveland’s Darius Garland, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, Miami’s Tyler Herro, Cleveland’s Evan Mobley, and Indiana’s Pascal Siakam. Shortly after the news, the Celtics reacted on social media.
Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has not been himself all that often so far this season. What might be bugging the Georgia native, if anything? Could he be out of sorts by the new substitution patterns used by Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla in the 2024-24 regular season, or the role he has on the team as a result?
Tatum will be a starting player for the Eastern Conference team, the league announced last week, while it was announced on Thursday that Brown will be a reserve player.
