The NBA All-Star Game announced the starters for the year festivities on Monday afternoon. Cleveland Cavaliers fans everywhere were stunned to see the results and notice their star player missing from the bunch. Donovan Mitchell did not make the cut in the Eastern Conference.
The five starters selected included: Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics, Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks, Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons, and Tyrese Maxey of the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Cavaliers have not played up to their lofty preseason expectations thus far. The team has trended in the right direction of late, but it has clearly proven to be too little too late to have Mitchell's career year recognized among the All-Star starters.
