Drummond Spouts Off After All-Star Game Snub
(97.1 The Ticket) The NBA All-Star reserves were announced on Tuesday night, and Andre Drummond was floored he wasn't selected.

Reggie Jackson, one of Drummond's best friends, quickly came to his defense.

The starting center for the East is Joel Embiid. Starters are voted in by fans, players and a media panel.
