Atlanta guard Trae Young is headed to the NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco after all, and Dallas guard Kyrie Irving has been picked once again as well.

Commissioner Adam Silver announced Monday that he has added Young to the All-Star roster as an injury replacement for Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will not be able to play because of a calf injury. Later Monday, Silver chose Irving as the injury replacement for his Mavs teammate Anthony Davis — out with a groin injury.

Young was originally displeased when he was not picked for the game through the balloting for the starters or the coaches’ selections of reserve players. “It’s getting ‘Traed’ at this point,” he wrote on social media, coining a new word in reaction to being snubbed.

Young is the NBA’s assist leader this season and now a four-time All-Star selection. The All-Star Game — now a mini-tournament of three games — is Sunday at Chase Center.

Young will replace Antetokounmpo on Team Chuck, the eight-man squad drafted last week by TNT analyst Charles Barkley. Antetokounmpo was the fourth of the 24 players drafted by Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith to the rosters.

Young joins a roster with an international feel. He’ll team with Denver’s Nikola Jokic (Serbia), Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada), San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama (France), Indiana’s Pascal Siakam (Cameroon), Houston’s Alperen Sengun (Turkey), New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns (whose mother is Dominican) and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell (whose mother is from Panama).

This is the second consecutive year Young was added to the roster as an injury replacement. He also made All-Star appearances in 2020 and 2022.

Davis left his debut with the Mavericks with an injury on Saturday and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Irving is now a nine-time selection.

Irving joins Team Shaq as Davis’ replacement, which also features Davis’ former Lakers teammate LeBron James, the Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Boston teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, Phoenix’s Kevin Durant, Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard and the Los Angeles Clippers’ James Harden.

TimberWolves sale to A-Rod, Lore back on track >> The ownership transfer of the Minnesota Timberwolves must continue as originally planned, after a three-person arbitration panel ruled 2-1 that controlling owner Glen Taylor must cede control of the NBA club to partners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez in the disputed final phase of the $1.5 billion sale that was uniquely arranged nearly four years ago to give Lore and Rodriguez the majority stake.

The binding ruling issued granted Lore, an e-commerce entrepreneur and investor, and Rodriguez, the former Major League Baseball star, a 90-day extension to finish the acquisition. The sale is subject to approval by the league’s board of governors, with at least 23 of 30 team owners needing to vote yes.

“We look forward to working with the NBA to complete the approval process and close this transaction so that we can turn our attention to winning championships in Minnesota for our incredible fans and the Twin Cities community,” Lore and Rodriguez said in a statement.

The 83-year-old Taylor, who grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm and built a fortune with a business that specialized in printing wedding invitations, bought the T’Wolves for $88 million in 1994 to prevent the franchise moving from New Orleans. Taylor and his wife, Becky, issued a statement expressing their disappointment in the ruling.

“We will review the decision thoroughly prior to making any further comment.” the Taylors said, in part.

Taylor announced last March he was exercising his right to pull out of the deal because Lore and Rodriguez did not send the final payment within the 90-day deadline of initiating the purchase of their third portion of the club to reach about an 80% stake and become the controlling owners of the Timberwolves and the WNBA’s Lynx. Taylor said they missed other deadlines as well.

Doncic donates $500K to wildfire recovery efforts >> Luka Doncic began the possible day of his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers by donating $500,000 to fire recovery efforts in his new community.

The Slovenian superstar was upgraded to probable several hours before the Lakers’ home game against Utah on Monday night.

The Lakers acquired Doncic from Dallas in a seismic trade for Anthony Davis and Max Christie.

He made an immediate impression on Los Angeles by donating money to help with the damage caused by the rampant wildfires that devastated parts of Southern California last month — including Pacific Palisades, where Redick’s home was lost.
