Brandon Ingram is heading to the NBA All-Star Game. The Toronto Raptors' forward will replace Stephen Curry, who's been ruled out due to a right knee injury. Ingram, 28, received the nod from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, marking his second All-Star appearance and first since the 2019-20 season.
Ingram's stats this season are impressive - 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 52 games. He's leading the Raptors to a 32-22 record, fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The All-Star Game takes place on Sunday, Feb 15, at 5 p.m. ET at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
Steph Curry's got his 12th All-Star game selection. Meanwhile, Brandon Ingram's averaging 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, earning him his second All-Star appearance. He first made it in 2020, when he took home the NBA Most Improved Player award.
Curry's absence means the All-Star Game won't get to see a reunion of him, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant - three key players from Team USA's Olympic gold medal win in Paris 2024.
