OKLAHOMA CITY – So the big question on Thursday is who the NBA’s All-Star starters will be when they are announced during TNT’s telecast.
The more local uncertainty is whether Luka Donu010diu0107 and/or Kyrie Irving deserve to be included either in the starting lineup or as a reserve.
When healthy, there is no doubt that Donu010diu0107 is an all-star starter. But he’s been out since Christmas with a strained left calf and the NBA often is an out-of-sight, out-of-mind league.
If the fans didn’t vote him in, then Luka is destined to miss his first All-Star game since his rookie season, only because he’s missed so many games.
