CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Neither LaMelo Ball or Miles Bridges were selected to the 2022 NBA All-Star game, as reserves were announced on Thursday night.
The Charlotte Hornets teammates each average 19.9 points per game.
Ball also averages 7.7 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game while shooting 35.8% from three-point range and 42.6% from the field.
The 20-year-old known for his dazzling passes is just the fourth player in NBA history to record five triple-doubles before his 21st birthday, joining Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Magic Johnson.
He will take part in the Rising Stars game during All-Star weekend in Cleveland (Feb. 18-20).
Bridges also provides the Hornets 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and has thrilled fans across the league with his high-flying dunks.
Either player could still make the game as a replacement for an injured player.
Charlotte's last NBA All-Star was Kemba Walker, who started in 2019 at the game held in the Queen City.
