With a plethora of speculation thrown around on social media platforms, senior NBA insider Shams Charania confirmed the name of the Eastern Conference star who will replace Antetokounmpo. "Atlanta's Trae Young has replaced Giannis Antetokounmpo in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game," Charania tweeted.

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will be sidelined through the All-Star break due to a left calf strain, coach Doc Rivers confirmed on Sunday prior to the team's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Antetokounmpo, the league's second-leading scorer, has not played since Feb. 2, due to a combination of lower-body issues.

Antetokounmpo, who is dealing with a left calf strain, will miss the next two games -- Monday at home against Golden State and Wednesday at Minnesota.
