The 2023 All-Star Game is around the corner, and many fans are getting updates that are great for some and terrible for others. As we know, this season, many big names have struggled with injuries, and three of the best in the game will miss this event this season. 

Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Zion Williamson have all been ruled out for the 2023 All-Star Game, and the NBA already named the three players that will take over from them in Salt Lake City next February 19. 

Moreover, they announced the three players that will leave the reserve list and will become starters when LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo draft their respective teams 30 minutes before tip-off.


Joel Embiid, Ja Morant And Lauri Markkanen Will Be All-Star Starters This Season 

These three are also big names, and many fans believed one or two of them deserved to be a starter this season. Joel Embiid is one of the top candidates for the MVP award this campaign, and it’s really crazy that he couldn’t be an All-Star starter from the very beginning. 

As for Morant and Markkanen, some fans had different things to say, as they weren’t that good to be considered starters. As soon as the league announced this, the NBA world reacted to the news.

Whenever these situations happen, NBA fans instantly react to them. You can find plenty of opinions there, with some attacking or defending one specific player, others trolling, and the rest just celebrating that their favorite player got the nod. 

This 2023 NBA All-Star Game looks very promising on paper, and with Anthony Edwards, Pascal Siakam, and De’Aaron Fox heading to Utah next week, we’re set to see a very electrifying and entertaining match. Ever since the league changed the format, things have been more interesting for everybody, and we all hope that it remains like that this year.
