Detroit-for the first time in eight seasons, Dallas Maverix will have no representation in the NBA All-Star game.
The last misfortune in the Maverix injury season happened on Thursday night when the All-Star reserves were announced by TNT. Kiri Irving, who had the best chance of qualifying for the Western Conference team, was not chosen as part of the 14 reserves.
This is the first time Mavericks won’t expel All-Star from the 2017-18 season.
Seven players from each conference were selected by NBA’s main coaches for the All-Star Game, which will be played on February 14 at Chase Center in San Francisco.
The Western reserves were announced in the following order: Minnesota guard Timbarulvs Anthony Edwards; Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis; La Clippers guard James Harden; MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES Jaren Jackson Jr.; Houston Missile Center Alperren Segun; Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams; And the center of San Antonio Spurs Victor Wangnyama.
Irving’s omission can be seen as a surprise for some. League coaches could join Dallas’s slide in the West ranking [26-22; eighth]S Irving also missed 10 injury games, but it is consistent when available.
Irving has one of the most effective seasons of shooting a career, an average of 24.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 theft per game. Its 41.9% brand of the 3-point line is a high career. The other Irving divisions are 89.7% of the free throws and 48.2% of the field.
Irving was asked after the loss of Maverix by Charlotte Hornet on January 20, if he felt a full star this season.
“I’m all-Star, regardless of this league, whether I’m voted or not,” he said. “I definitely have the feeling that I have put my best foot ahead this season, if it is revered by the boys who vote for me or fans or media, I appreciate.”
The starters, which were discovered last Thursday, were identified by fans, players and a media panel. Irving received the fourth -fine votes (1,280,712) and the voices of the players (44), which were discovered with the start of the game last Thursday.
Irving’s last nod to Erving happened in 2023, when he was selected as a starter with Brooklyn networks, just days after he was traded on Dallas. He scored 32 points and added 15 assists to this exhibition game.
Erving’s missing from All-Star Game comes two days after Dereck Lively II was appointed to the Rising Stars players for the second consecutive year.
The NBA introduced a new four teams, three matches, a mini-Turkish format for this year’s competition to encourage more competition and interest among players. The 24 NBA All-Star selections will be divided evenly into four teams with eight players, with lists being prepared by general managers of Charles Barkley, Shakil O’Neal, Candice Parker and Kenny Smith. The four analysts will take their appropriate TNT photos in the NBA All-Star draft, which will be held on February 6 at 5:30 pm CT.
Luka Doncic, who appeared in only 22 games this season for injury, was not selected as All-Star by the league’s main coaches. The omission clicks a series of five consecutive performances by All-Star. Doncic’s All-Star’s five deals are third in front of the four All-Star selections by Rolando Blackman. Dirk Novitski [14] is the only other Mavericks OT player to win five or more consecutive appearances for all stars.
Among other stocks of the Eastern Conference, the All-Star is the local Arlington Cade Cadem, who was appointed in his first All-Star game one night before his Detroit host Mavericks at Little Caesars Arena. The fourth year’s guard has an average of 25 points, 6.4 rebounds and 9.3 assists per match.
Cunningham is the closest connection in Dallas to be presented in the Bay area next month for the annual league show between the most bright stars in the league.
Meanwhile, Doncic and Irving will be able to use the seven-day All-Star break as an opportunity to rest for the unofficial second half of the season.
