Alperen Şengün
January 2026
Alperen Şengün was named as the replacement for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Team World for the 75th NBA All-Star Game after Gilgeous-Alexander was ruled out with an abdominal strain. Şengün earned his second straight All-Star selection while averaging roughly 21 points, 9 rebounds and over 6 assists, helping Houston to a top-four West record. The event uses a three-team format with Team World facing two USA teams in a short round-robin tournament at Intuit Dome.
