Because of their recent success, the Milwaukee Bucks have sent two players, Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson, to the All-Star Game the past two seasons.

Although the team is still positioned well, the Bucks are expected to get no more than one Eastern Conference representative when all-star reserves are announced today.

Allen is expected to make the East squad for the third consecutive season, but Robinson, who has missed 15 of the 42 games, probably won't get the call.

Bucks coach George Karl, who wonders if any of his players will make the all-star team this year, is pulling for one in particular: Point guard Sam Cassell, who has never made the all-star team despite putting up impressive numbers during his time with the Bucks.
