Though he should have been named an All-Star last week as the starters were announced, it happened tonight for the Chicago Bulls star.
On Thursday night, Zach LaVine was named an All-Star reserve for the second-straight season, joining teammate DeMar DeRozan representing the Bulls in Cleveland during All-Star Weekend.

Last week, the All-Star starters were named and it was widely thought that LaVine deserved the starting nod over Trae Young.
In 43 games this season, LaVine is averaging 24.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game while helping lead the Bulls to a 32-18 record, first in the Eastern Conference.
