No Celtics included in NBA All-Star Game starting 5

As expected when the All-Star Game starters were announced today there were no Celtics in the starting five. Jayson Tatum already had long odds going up against Embiid, Giannis, and Durant in the front-court. Then Tatum got hurt, missed some games, and has struggled a bit since returning.

Jaylen Brown's odds of getting a starter role decreased when James Harden was traded to the Eastern Conference's Nets, but in the end it was Bradley Beal with his league leading scoring and former Celtic Kyrie Irving who earned the two guard spots.

With regards to the reserves, similar to last season the Celtics may end up with one Jay getting snubbed for an All-Star spot.
