De’Aaron Fox replaced Giannis Antetokounmpo!
We doubted it, but it’s only today Giannis Antetokounmpo has been officially canceled for the 2026 All-Star Game, which will take place this Sunday, February 15 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
As a substitute, Adam Silver decided to call De’Aaron Foxteammate of Victor Wembanyama at Spurs.
The problem: it is therefore an American player who has been called up to replace a member of the “World” team. The NBA therefore continues to fumble and is Norman Powell who is leaving the US team to join the international team… having decided to represent Jamaica in FIBA competitions!
In short, the first American team, called “USA Stars”will consist of Scotty Barnes, Devin Booker, Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Anthony Edwards, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Johnson and Tyrese Maxey.
The second American team, so-called «USA Stripes»it will consist of Jaylen Brown, Jaylen Brunson, Brandon Ingram, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Donovan Mitchell and therefore De’Aaron Fox.
Finally, the international team answered “the world”they will count on Danny Avdia, Luka Doncic, Alperen Sengun, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Pascal Siakam, Karl-Anthony Towns and of course Victor Vembanyama.
