Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was not one of the three front-court players chosen to start the 2022 All-Star Game, but he likely will still be an alternate starter due to Kevin Durant’s MCL injury.
Per Yahoo! Sports’ Chris Haynes, Durant is expected to miss the game after sustaining an injury on Jan. 15. Durant was the top Eastern Conference vote-getter, followed by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid.
All-Star starters are determined by a weighted score between player, fan and media panel votes. Durant was No.
