Brooklyn Nets: A day late, but D’Angelo Russell is an All-Star
Brooklyn Nets guard D’Angelo Russell has been named to replace injured Victor Oladipo of the Indiana Pacers in the Feb. 17 NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte.
It took an extra day to get it done, but for the first time in five years, the Brooklyn Nets have an All-Star on their roster.
On Friday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver named Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell as an Eastern Conference reserve to replace Victor Oladipo of the Indiana Pacers, who was selected by the conference’s coaches but cannot play due to a season-ending knee injury sustained on Jan. 23.
