Jalen Brunson, who was born in New Brunswick and was snubbed as a starter last year, will start in the backcourt, while Piscataway native and former St. Joe’s-Metuchen big man Karl-Anthony Towns will start in the frontcourt. The game is set for Feb. 16 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Brunson and Towns represent the first pair of Knicks teammates to start in the All-Star Game since 1975, when Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and Walt “Clyde” Frazier donned the orange and blue.

The Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns is headed to the All-Star Game. He'll join his point guard Jalen Brunson to reach a franchise All-Star milestone. CBS News New York's Krystle Rich caught up with the dynamic duo Friday.
