DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine's partnership has been fruitful for the Chicago Bulls this season.
But the two will be on opposing teams for the Feb. 20 All-Star game in Cleveland.
DeRozan, who was voted a starter by a panel of fans, media and players, was drafted by LeBron James to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, Steph Curry and Nikola Jokić.

LaVine, who was selected as a reserve by coaches, was plucked by his former Olympics teammate Kevin Durant with Durant's third pick in the next round.
Here's a look at both squads:
DeRozan and LaVine are the NBA's best scoring duo, averaging 27.4 and 24.9 points per game, respectively. Both should bring plenty of buckets, and a handful of highlights, to the exhibition.
And for the Bulls, placing two All-Stars for the first time since 2016 is a marker of how far the franchise has come since having no representatives at the 2020 game in Chicago. DeRozan makes his fifth career appearance this season, LaVine his second in a row.

"It's tremendous to see them both out there," Bulls executive vice president Artūras Karnišovas said of DeRozan and LaVine in a post-trade-deadline press conference. "We're proud of DeMar and Zach making that All-Star."
