Adebayo will start at center in place of Joel Embiid (knee) for the Eastern Conference All-Star team in Sunday's game, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Adebayo is playing in his third All-Star Game on Sunday after averaging 20.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 34.6 minutes so far in 2023-24. However, a long-term knee injury to Embiid will allow Adebayo to make his first All-Star Game start.
