This is DeRozan’s third time to be selected as a starter, and first since 2018
The NBA announced earlier tonight that for the third time in his career, DeMar DeRozan has been named a starter in the All-Star game, selected by a combination of fan, media and player votes. It will be the first time a Bulls player has been a starter in an All-Star Game since 2017, and DeMar's fifth All-Star selection overall.
In his first season with Chicago, the 13-year veteran has played in 43 games and posted averages of 26.4 points (6th in the NBA and his highest scoring average since 2016-17) on 9.
