For the fourth time in his NBA career, Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown has been named as an All-Star for the Eastern Conference.
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown will play in his fourth NBA All-Star game next month, after being named an Eastern Conference reserve on Thursday.
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.
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.
Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis destroyed the Bulls, and Jaylen Brown knows how scary that could be for the rest of the NBA.
Jaylen Brown is paying tribute to a former Boston Celtics vice president who died of brain cancer in 2023. The Celtics also paid homage.
