From the votes of the fans to the coaches, it’s difficult. There is a lot of talent in the NBA today, and we are all fighting to find a place. It’s no different with him, and he’s been playing like an All-Star for a long time.”said the Warriors point guard.

“My advice was for him to continue approaching the game the right way. It all comes back to you when you are working and focused. Keep playing with joy and don’t let the bad feeling take over. So don’t let this create resentment. He’s not being recognized right now, but it’s the work we rely on. Things always come back”he highlighted.
Trae’s absence from the All-Star Game NBA left many experts intrigued. The point guard became only the third player in history to average 25 points and ten assists and still not be selected for the all-star game. This, more than once, since last season it was the same thing. And not being selected becomes even more painful for Young, as he was the second most voted by fans to be a starter at the event. However, this only corresponds to 50% of the vote. Journalists and athletes ended up leaving the number 11 out. In their place, they entered Tyrese Haliburtonof Indiana PacersIt is Damian Lillard, from Milwaukee Bucks.
After that, he ended up being neglected in the reserves. This because DonovanMitchellof Cleveland Cavaliers, Jalen Brunsonof New York KnicksIt is Tyrese Maxeyof Philadelphia 76ers, were selected. But, there is still hope on the horizon for Trae Young. The injuries of Joel Embiid It is Julius Randle opened a way for the point guard to participate as a substitute. It all depends on the choice of Adam SilverNBA commissioner.
“There are some injuries in the East from what I’ve seen. It may not be the best way or how he actually wanted it, but I feel like he will be with us in Indiana and be represented. It’s like he said. He needs to keep working. He approaches the game in the best way, he works, and that’s the most important thing. Knowing this, it will come back to him at some point for sure,” said Curry.
“I understand this issue of being snubbed. It happened to me the first year I was tipped to play in the All-Star Game. Use this as motivation against those who criticize you. Use that energy. That’s what I did at least”completed the number 30 of the Golden State Warriors.
