Unfortunately it didn't happen this time around. The Atlanta Hawks Trae Young and Toronto Raptors Scottie Barnes have been chosen instead.Atlanta’s Trae Young and Toronto’s Scottie Barnes have replaced Joel Embiid and Julius Randle on the NBA Eastern Conference All-Star team.

The All-Star game is still eleven days away, so there may be more replacements named, but a couple guards replacing a pair of bigs on Tuesday definitely hurt White's future odds,
