The 2024 NBA All-Star Game will feature some of the most talented players in the league facing off against each other in a highly anticipated game on February 18, 2024.
While most players who made the list truly deserved to receive the honor, there were a few snubs as well.
No player from the New Orleans Pelicans made the list either as a starter or reserve this year.
Speaking of which, Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram expressed his frustration about missing the list via Legion Hoops on Twitter.
“They all send double-teams at me. Yet, they don’t vote me for All-Star,” Ingram said.

“That’s crazy… They all send double-teams at me. Yet, they don’t vote me for All-Star (laughs).”

Brandon Ingram was obviously unhappy about missing the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.
He believes he should have been named as one of the All-Stars for the Western Conference as he is constantly getting double-teamed during games.
Moreover, he is averaging 21.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game for the Pelicans this season.
Ingram is currently playing the eighth season of his NBA career, but he hasn’t been named an All-Star since the 2019-20 NBA season.
The Pelicans star is still 26 years old, so there is always the possibility of him getting the honor in the future.
Ingram has helped the Pelicans reach a 30-22 record this season.
