    De’Aaron Fox has been named an All-Star replacement

    Fox will be making his first appearance in the All-Star game.

    De’Aaron Fox is expected to be named as an injury replacement All-Star reserve, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski:

    With two open spots, Fox and Anthony Edwards made the most sense as they had been widely viewed as the most deserving players to not get selected by coaches.

    The great thing about this for Fox is that it will ease the path to future selections. All-Star selections are weirdly built around reputation and narrative, and once a player has been an All-Star once it’s generally easier for them to be selected again. And once you’re an All-Star, even if it’s as an injury replacement, it still counts the same.

    Kings fans may recall that DeMarcus Cousins finally broke through and made the All-Star game as an injury replacement. Domantas Sabonis’ first All-Star appearance was also an injury replacement.

    We’ll still be waiting for the official announcement, but for the time being we say congratulations to De’Aaron Fox. This is well deserved.

    Update: Well that was fast. The announcement is now official.

    A well-deserved recognition. He really has elevated his game this year.

    Awesome for Fox! Congratulations young man. Very happy for you. Question I have was he the lucky pick due to Durant going to the Suns?

    Durant was replaced by Siakam as he was an East all star when named. Since the game doesn’t use east/west for teams it won’t really matter. Fox and Edwards replaced Curry and Williamson.

    I thought Siakam replaced Brown?

    That makes sense. I kinda figured that out after I posted it. What a week or two it’s been for Fox. Baby boy, game winning free throws, All-Star selection.

    Who would thought that having a good GM, one capable to bring another star player, having stability, estructure and a real NBA coach, not Luke Walton, could benefit your franchise player.

    Also, De’Aaron should have been an all-star in 2021 as a replacement, not Conley, and should have been directly named reserve this year, not because of someone’s injury.

    Well, maybe I’ll watch the All-star game this year, after many years.

    And the Rising Stars game, too.

    Can we get someone in the 3-point contest to make it 4 kings?

    CONGRATS, De’Allstar!

    The NBA wanted to wait until the last quarter to name Mr. Clutch to the All Star Game

    Well deserved, De’Aaron.

    Very stupid how we allow this annual honor for basketball excellence be decided by fans’ name recognition, but hopefully this helps him get his due in the future!

    You fix it two ways, IMO. One, games played requirement and Two, expand the rosters to 15.

    True, but even with 15 on a roster, there will be cries about the #16-20 players who don’t make it.

    Sacramento has 2 all stars, and possibly the ugliest all star jerseys they’ve had in a while. I’ll still be getting my fox and ox ones though. Congrats to Fox!

    Aww I like those jerseys! My only qualm is that they’re basically Utah’s jerseys, that’s probably why I like them, cause I really like their jerseys. But not super creative as far as all star jerseys go

    Wait… I’m not sure what is happening here. The Kings are in 3rd place in the West… In February…. and have two players headed to the All Star game.
    Something is breaking in the universe and I’m not sure what reality is anymore.

    Are bodybuilders are eating ice cream for dinner and does congress agree on everything? Do cars fly now? I’m so confused.
    I mean… if the Kings don’t suck anymore… if they are good… well…
    That’s just not normal and I’m lost. Ya, they have looked good all year, but I’m still somehow struggling with the idea of it.

    But otherwise… Congrats Mr Fox. I’m glad to see you get the rec you deserve.
