Celtics Star Jaylen Brown Named All-Star Game Starter

Brown earned a starting spot with 29.7 points per game, leading Boston to the East's No. 2 seed amid Jayson Tatum's injury, voters said.

  • On January 19, 2026, Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics guard, was voted one of five Eastern Conference starters for the All-Star Game scheduled for February 15th at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
  • Brown's scoring outbursts and increased workload have included five 40-point games and a 50-point outing, and he is on pace for career highs in free-throw attempts as Jayson Tatum rehabs while Boston Celtics sit second in the Eastern Conference.
  • Brown's numbers reveal that he is efficient this year with a.585 true shooting percentage, 36.7% 3-point shooting, and 6.4 rebounds per game.
  • The voting breakdown shows that media voters propelled Brown to first place among Eastern Conference ballots within the NBA's weighted system of fans 50%, players 25%, media 25%.
  • Under the new All-Star format, Brown will play in the round-robin U.S. vs. World event with three teams and 12-minute games, thanking 'day 1' fans amid swift social reactions.
