ANALYSIS: With the NBA ruling out Philadelphia's Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons due to contact tracing, Zion Williamson will take the floor as an All-Star starter for Team Durant in what will be his first career All-Star Game. Williamson will join the likes of Bradley Beal, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, and Jayson Tatum as Team Durant takes on Team LeBron in the NBA's 70th All-Star Game.
