Celtics’ Jaylen Brown earns his first NBA All-Star starter nod

Jaylen Brown will be one of five starters for the Eastern Conference in next month’s NBA All-Star game, the league announced Monday.

It will be Brown’s fifth All-Star appearance and first time starting the game. He joins Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, New York’s Jalen Brunson, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, and Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey among the East starters.

Los Angeles’s Luka Doncic, Denver’s Nikola Jokic, Golden State’s Stephen Curry, Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama will start for the West.

The All-Star starters were selected by a combination of votes from fans, current players, and media members.
