Antetokounmpo, LeBron named NBA All-Star captains

If Bradley Beal is going to make his third straight NBA All-Star Game, he’ll have to wait one more week to see if he makes it as a reserve.

As expected, there was no sign of the Washington Wizards‘ star when the league announced the 10 All-Star starters Thursday night, as Kemba Walker of the Boston Celtics and Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks were chosen as the two Eastern Conference guards.

For the second straight year, Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James were named captains and will get to pick their teams, draft-style, in two weeks’ time.
