Sorry, Celtics fans…Derrick White isn’t an All-Star starter.
Don’t worry. Jayson Tatum is.
Tatum, making his fifth straight All-Star appearance, will start alongside Tyrese Haliburton, Damian Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid.
He poured in an All-Star record 55 points last year, earning MVP honors in his first career start.
Tatum is averaging 27 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists this season, and the Celtics have the best record in the NBA (34-10) entering Thursday’s games.
The All-Star Game is set for Sunday, Feb. 18, in Indianapolis.
