Durant made the Bulls guard his fourth reserve selection, setting the stage for an exciting exhibition.
The NBA All-Star Game will continue its history as an exhibition of the league's rising stars this year after four first-timers were added as reserves at the 2021 showpiece event. Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans was named alongside LeBron James in the West, while the Chicago Bulls' Zach LaVine, Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown and New York Knicks' Julius Randle were given the nod in the Kevin Durant-led East.
The Cavaliers center is in a contract year, earning $28.7 million.
