Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young frustratedly uses his name to replace the word "snubbed" after missing the 2025 NBA All-Star game.

Atlanta guard Trae Young doesn’t view not getting picked for the All-Star Game as getting snubbed. He has a new word.

Trae Young gave getting snubbed a new name after he was iced out of this year’s NBA All-Star Game. The Atlanta Hawks point guard, who’s a three-time All-Star, sent a PSA after the reserves were announced on Thursday night.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks Trae Young has come up with a new word that’s very familiar to his lack of being named an NBA All-Star. “It’s no longer getting “snubbed” it’s getting “Traed” at this point,” Young posted on X.

Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young is tired of not getting his flowers.Young wasn't among the All-Stars announced Thursday, prompting the 26-year-old to devise a new term for hopefuls who miss out on the honor.

Sabonis has been a prototypical snub since he got to Sacramento four years ago. He puts up huge numbers for a team outside of title contention and sometimes gets lost in the fray as a result. He’s actually made more All-NBA teams than All-Star Games in his full seasons with the Kings.

Among those to make the cut are first-timer Victor Wembanyama and 21st-timer LeBron James. Six teams had multiple selections, while only two teams above .500 — the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings — had none. The game is once again stacked with recognizable talent, but there were plenty more players beyond the 24 players selected.

On Thursday, Darius Garland, Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro were named the four Eastern Conference guard reserves. Instantly, fans and analysts alike were critical of the coaches for snubbing Young. The Hawks guard himself expressed his displeasure.
