Newest All-Star coming to town tonight:
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has been named by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace injured Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo on Team Chuck in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Young has earned his fourth NBA All-Star selection. He is averaging 23.5 points and an NBA-leading 11.4 assists per game in 49 games this season. Antetokounmpo is unable to participate in the NBA All-Star Game because of a left calf strain. The nine-time NBA All-Star was drafted onto Team Chuck by its general manager, TNT analyst Charles Barkley. The 74th NBA All-Star Game will take place on Sunday, Feb. 16 at Chase Center in San Francisco. The new four-team, three-game mini-tournament will air at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.

Franz Wagner is the "ultimate competitor." His undeniable stardom has carried its weight in gold for the #Magic this season. As it has so many other times this season, it also helped carry Orlando to a much-needed win Saturday night:

Haynes says here that Adam Silver picks the injury replacements & he typically goes with whoever finished with the next-most coaches votes. Unlike the fan, media and player voting numbers, coach totals were not made public.

With his Q-zip open, dangling gold necklace and his slicked back hair, Moe Wagner sported his usual bravado in his first time back on the #Magic bench. Long from a return to play, his impact was still felt between the white lines. "Moe was huge." More:

Paolo Banchero was struggling for most of the night. But when closing time came, the ball was in the #Magic forward's hands – exactly where they wanted it to be. "I was confident that if I could get to that spot, I was going to make the shot."

Spurs forward Harrison Barnes on the #Magic's Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero: "They are great players. I had a chance to work out with Franz during his pre-draft process out in LA. He is a great kid, extremely hard worker, love his game. Paolo has obviously blossomed into one of the better players in our league ... an All-Star and the future is bright here in Orlando obviously under Mose who was a coach of mine and a good friend. He is doing a good job with them.

#Magic’s Franz Wagner on having his brother Moe Wagner back in the Kia Center this evening: “Obviously for me it was really cool. I think it was [for the] rest of the guys, too.” “You feel that someone’s missing…”

Reset: #Magic 112, Spurs 111. 24.7 to go. SAS ball after the timeout. What a huge shot for Paolo Banchero. He'd been quiet for most of the night, but has answered the call in the fourth.

Franz missed the turnaround, but he chases down the OREB and calls timeout before falling out of bounds. #Magic will have the ball with 30.8 to go, 14 on the shot clock, down 1 to the Spurs. 111-110, SAS.
