On February 17, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. According to the schedule, there are still two game days left before the All-Star Weekend, and from this Saturday (Beijing time), the All-Star Weekend activities will officially begin.
Earlier today, the US media broke out a lot of updates about All-Star Weekend!
1. Cumminga will participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.
Due to a toe injury, Pacers rookie Duarte will miss out on this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge. As a result, Warriors rookie Cumminga will replace him, and so far this season, Cuminga has averaged 14.3 minutes per game, 7.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists. He shot 50.4 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three-point range. It is worth mentioning that after Cumminga lost the rookie competition, many people complained about him. Meanwhile, the Warriors will have five people named to this year's All-Star Weekend event: Curry (full game), Wiggins (full game), Green (full game but withdrawn), Anderson (dunk contest), Cummingga (rookie game).
2. The time of the award ceremony of the 75 superstars is determined
According to Marc Stein, the NBA will hold an awards ceremony for all-time 75 biggest stars during the halftime of the All-Star Game. In addition, superstars who participate in the 75th anniversary celebration of the team do not need to be vaccinated, just as current NBA players do not need to be vaccinated. But to ensure safety, the league is working on a protocol (including testing) that stars who attend the 75 Superstar Awards ceremony must pass the test before they can participate.
3. Jaylen Brown is upset about his defeat
In this year's Eastern Conference All-Star Selection, Celtics player Jaylen Brown lost. He posted a photo on his personal social media today that read: "Jaylen Brown should be named an All-Star. It can be seen that Brown is worried about his failure to win the All-Star team. So far this season, Brown has played in 45 games, averaging 34.2 minutes per game, and can get 23.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals. The Greens are currently playing the league's longest wave of nine consecutive wins, ranking 6th in the East with 34 wins and 25 losses.
