Summary clip of the week 1.2/Sport1
Jaylen Bronson tonight led the Knicks to a ninth consecutive victory with 40 points against Indiana.
A little before it happened, he was informed that he was chosen as one of the substitutes in the All-Star game that will be held this time in Indianapolis.
Bronson is one of three players who received a first call-up to the prestigious game along with Tyrese Maxey who starred tonight against Utah and Paulo Bunkero from Orlando.
The Eastern bench includes Jaylen Brunson, Tyrese Maxey, Donovan Mitchell, Paulo Bancro, Julius Randle (currently injured), Bam Adebayo and Jaylen Brown.
The East's pre-determined five will consist of Tyrese Halliburton, Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid.

The Western bench will include Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Devin Booker, Anthony Davis and Karl Anthony Towns.
Luka Doncic, Shea Gilges Alexander, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Nikola Jokic will start in the five of the West.
The notable name left out is Atlanta's Trae Young.
Sacramento's excellent Diaron Fox is out as well as Victor Wombanayama, the promising rookie who will most likely be named Rookie of the Year and will surely be in the All-Star next year.
