All-Star Spot Up For Grabs: Sengun Fills SGA's Injury Void
Named as a replacement for the 2026 NBA All-Star World Team, Alperen Şengün not only secures an All-Star spot for the Rockets once again but also makes new history for Turkish basketball as the first player from the country to earn two NBA All-Star selections.
His all-around performance of 20.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season is the solid foundation for his selection, with the 6.3 assists leading all centers in the league. This unique value as a playmaking big man allows him to take over the torch of Turkish basketball from Mehmet Okur and become a new NBA benchmark for the international stage.
From his first All-Star nod to consecutive selections, the 23-year-old Şengün is writing a new All-Star chapter for Turkey with his steady growth.
