In the last few minutes, it has been announced that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will head to the All-Star game for the very first time as a reserve. The news was broken on NBA on TNT.
Gilgeous-Alexander has played at an elite level this season and this is a just reward for all of his hard work so far. He was a fringe All-Star candidate two years ago but he now finally gets his opportunity to enjoy the festivities and bring his brand of smooth, funky basketball to a game in which the Thunder have a storied history.
