FAYETTEVILLE — Joe Johnson is an all-star again.
The Brooklyn Nets guard was named to the NBA All-Star team Thursday. The former Razorbacks star from Little Rock will represent the Eastern Conference as a reserve in his seventh appearance in the game.
Johnson is averaging 15.7 points per game this season for the Nets and has a pair of game-winning buzzer-beaters to his credit. He has led Brooklyn in scoring 15 times this season and has scored 25 or more points in seven games.
The 32-year-old edged out Raptors guard Kevin Lowry for the spot on the team, according to the New York Daily News. Johnson is the only player on the all-star team from the Nets' $100 million roster.
The NBA All-Star Game will be played Feb. 16 at the New Orleans Arena.
