Atlanta Hawks guard and former OU star Trae Young has been named as an Eastern Conference injury replacement for the All-Star game on Feb. 18 in Indianapolis.

Young and Toronto's Scottie Barnes were announced Tuesday as the replacements for New York's Julius Randle (shoulder) and Philadelphia's Joel Embiid (knee). This marks Young's third career All-Star selection.

Young is averaging 27.3 points, 10.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game this season. The sixth-year guard has also kept Atlanta (22-28) in the hunt for a play-in spot.

A former Norman North standout, Young committed to OU in 2017 as a five-star prospect. He spent one season with the Sooners in 2017-18 and led them to an NCAA Tournament appearance with averages of 27.4 points and 8.7 assists per game.

Young got selected No. 5 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks, who immediately sent him to Atlanta in a deal that included Luka Doncic. Young has received All-Rookie first team (2018) and All-NBA third team (2022) honors.
