NBA: Gobert and Wembanyama miss the cut, no French at the All Star Game. Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell are there, not the two Frenchmen.
The coaches preferred Anthony Davis (LA Lakers), Kawhi Leonard, Paul George (LA Clippers) and Karl Anthony Towns (Minnesota) for the back line. Domantas Sabonis, De'Aaron Fox (Sacramento) and Kyrie Irving (Dallas) also remain at the dock in this ultra-tough Conference.
