“Jarrett Allen is on pace to become only the 4th player in history to achieve a special feat. Much deserved selection”: NBA Twitter reacts as the Cavs big man gets named as the All-Star replacement for James Harden

The league named Jarrett Allen as the injury replacement for James Harden on Team LeBron at the 2022 NBA All-Star Game.

Ever since LeBron James parted ways with the Cavs, the organization has been a lottery team, failing to advance into the postseason. However, this year, the city of Cleveland will see not one but two of their players suiting up for the prestigious All-Star Game.

With James Harden sitting out with injuries, the league named Jarrett Allen as the replacement to join his teammate Darius Garland on Team LeBron at the 2022 NBA All-Star Game.
