ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks Trae Young has come up with a new word that’s very familiar to his lack of being named an NBA All-Star. “It’s no longer getting “snubbed” it’s getting “Traed” at this point,” Young posted on X.

The Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young recently opened up after getting snubbed from the NBA All-Star reserves list from his respective conference

On Thursday, Darius Garland, Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro were named the four Eastern Conference guard reserves. Instantly, fans and analysts alike were critical of the coaches for snubbing Young. The Hawks guard himself expressed his displeasure.

Among those to make the cut are first-timer Victor Wembanyama and 21st-timer LeBron James. Six teams had multiple selections, while only two teams above .500 — the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings — had none. The game is once again stacked with recognizable talent, but there were plenty more players beyond the 24 players selected.

Sabonis has been a prototypical snub since he got to Sacramento four years ago. He puts up huge numbers for a team outside of title contention and sometimes gets lost in the fray as a result. He’s actually made more All-NBA teams than All-Star Games in his full seasons with the Kings.

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young sent a strong message over social media on Thursday after getting snubbed for this year's NBA All-Star Game.
