Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun on Sunday was named to replace injured Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Team World for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.
The selection of Sengun, 23, was made by NBA commissioner Adam Silver. The All-Star Game will take place next Sunday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
Sengun, of Turkey, earned his second consecutive All-Star selection after averaging 20.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and a career-high 6.3 assists in 44 games (all starts) this season.
Gilgeous-Alexander, of Canada, is nursing an abdominal injury that has forced him to miss consecutive games heading into a road contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday.
Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA MVP and NBA Finals MVP last season, has been named an All-Star in four consecutive seasons.
