For the fourth time in his NBA career, Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown has been named as an All-Star for 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.
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama and Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown were among the 14 players named on Thursday as reserves for next month's NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco.
