The Toronto Raptors star was named Tuesday by commissioner Adam Silver as the replacement for Stephen Curry after the Golden State Warriors star was ruled out with injury. Ingram will play for the USA Stripes.
The 28-year-old was last selected to the all-star team while with the Pelicans in the 2019-20 season, when he also received the NBA Most Improved Player award.
Ingram is averaging 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists over 52 games in his second season with the Raptors. He has recorded 33 games with 20 or more points this season.
The six-foot-eight forward is the third member of the Raptors headed to the All-Star Game. Scottie Barnes will compete for Team Stars and Darko Rajaković will serve as the World head coach.
Curry is dealing with right patellofemoral pain syndrome. This is the 12th year he has been voted an NBA all-star starter.
The All-Star Game will be played Sunday at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
