The teams are set for the big event at All-Star weekend as OKC Thunder guard Chris Paul joins Team LeBron. CP3’s backcourt partner also learned he’ll have a busier itinerary than originally expected. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was tapped to replace Derrick Rose (who hails from Chicago) in the All-Star Saturday Night as part of the Taco Bell Skills Challenge.
Thunderous Intentions outlined the specifics of the teams playing Sunday as LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounpo selected their squads and ironically the starting five features West versus East.
Gilgeous-Alexander will be active on Friday as part of the Rising Stars World Team.
