Celtics’ Jaylen Brown named All-Star for 4th time in NBA career
Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum will represent the Celtics in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.
Jayson Tatum won’t be the only Celtics star taking part in the upcoming 2025 NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco.
The NBA announced the All-Star reserves for both the Eastern and Western Conferences on Thursday, with fellow Celtics star Jaylen Brown joining Tatum on the roster. This marks the fourth time that Brown has been named an All-Star, as well as the third consecutive season that he’s received the honor.
Brown is averaging 23.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game for the defending champions this season, serving as Boston’s second scoring option behind Tatum.
NBA All-Star reserves are selected by NBA coaches, with Brown joining a reserve squad in the Eastern Conference that also includes Cleveland’s Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard, Miami’s Tyler Herro, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, and Indiana’s Pascal Siakam.
