Which players are OUT?

 

[HacheMan]

Out​

• Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors
• Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns
• Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans

Curry, Durant and Williamson were all picked to start the game -- Durant was originally selected as an Eastern Conference starter when he was still with the Brooklyn Nets -- but none of them will play on Sunday night due to injuries. Curry tore ligaments in his lower leg in early February, and could miss a few more weeks after the All-Star break. Durant is dealing with a knee sprain for the second time in two years, but his Suns debut should be on the horizon when the NBA's regular season returns. Williamson, meanwhile, has not played since early January and it was recently announced he'll miss multiple more weeks after the All-Star Game.

Questionable​

• Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers
• Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Embiid has been dealing with foot soreness lately, and suggested he could sit out the All-Star Game earlier this month. Embiid has played in 45 of the 76ers' 57 games this season, but has dealt with foot issues throughout his career. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported this weekend that Embiid will be on hand Sunday night and "expects" to play. Antetokounmpo suffered an injury on Thursday night in the Bucks' final game before the All-Star break, spraining his wrist against the Bulls. Giannis sat out of Saturday night's Skills Challenge with the wrist issue, and it's unclear if he will play on Sunday night. He will still pick his team as captain.

Embiid and Antetokounmpo could both suit up on Sunday night and just play limited minutes in the exhibition game.

I don't watch that garbage anymore. The all star game is just a bunch of dudes dunking the ball or shooting unguarded 40 foot shots.

All the All Star Games are ridiculous with the exception of Baseball.

3 blocks and 15 steals total from both sides, but thank God no one fouled out!!

Impossible to watch. More defense in a pickup game at the schoolyard.
