NEW YORK — There are now two possible opportunities for Jalen Brunson to sneak into the All-Star Game.
DeMar DeRozan, a reserve selection for the Eastern Conference, missed Wednesday’s game for the Bulls with a “Grade 1 hamstring strain.” DeRozan called himself “day-to-day” and wouldn’t rule himself out of Sunday’s All-Star Game, but it’s certainly possible the strain won’t heal in time. He’s reportedly been dealing with pain in that area since January.
Jaylen Brown’s status for the East is also unclear because of a facial fracture that kept him out of the last three Celtics games.
