Fred VanVleet is officially an NBA All-Star.
The NBA revealed the 2022 All-Star reserves tonight, and Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet — whose play this season has undoubtedly been All-Star calibre — was announced as a member of the Eastern Conference squad.
It’s the first All-Star selection for VanVleet, who’s averaging 21.5 points, 7.0 assists, and 4.7 rebounds — all career-highs — on 42/39/87 shooting splits.
This also marks the return of the Raptors to the All-Star game, as last year was the first time no Raptor made the team since 2014.
