Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown will play in his fourth NBA All-Star game next month, after being named an Eastern Conference reserve on Thursday.

Jaylen Brown was announced Thursday as one of the seven All-Star reserves from the Eastern Conference. It was the third straight All-Star nod and fourth in the last five years for Brown, who will join East starter Jayson Tatum at the midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.

Jaylen Brown joined Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum as an Eastern Conference All-Star on Thursday night with the wing selected as a reserve by NBA coaches. It is the fourth All-Star selection for Brown over the last five seasons.

Brown and company will be joined by the East starters in Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Donovan Mitchell of the Cavs, Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks, and Knicks teammate Jalen Brunson.

Brown is joined by other reserves, including Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard, Cleveland’s Darius Garland, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, Miami’s Tyler Herro, Cleveland’s Evan Mobley, and Indiana’s Pascal Siakam. Shortly after the news, the Celtics reacted on social media.

Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has not been himself all that often so far this season. What might be bugging the Georgia native, if anything? Could he be out of sorts by the new substitution patterns used by Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla in the 2024-24 regular season, or the role he has on the team as a result?

Tatum will be a starting player for the Eastern Conference team, the league announced last week, while it was announced on Thursday that Brown will be a reserve player.

Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown has been named to the All-Star team as a reserve this year. This will mark the fourth time that Brown has been named to the All-Star team in his career. Brown joins fellow All-Star teammate Jayson Tatum this season as the two will represent the defending champions in San Francisco.
