This will just motivate Jimmy more

He just started to get meaningful minutes in the last 2 weeks. Can't really be a snub.

He's still averaging nearly 21 mpg. It's not like he was barely playing before Deng went down.

There's only 9 players? And is Irving going to do that game AND the ASG?

[Stunnerko123]

If Jeremy Lin can get in after 10 games why cant Jimmy ? He can take Leonard's spot imo he has missed half of the season.

Jeremy had a great stretch of games . dropping 30 on nights, getting 10+ dimes another, hitting game winning shots. Can't really compare the situations.
