Paul Millsap is an All-Star.

The Hawks power forward was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team as a reserve Thursday after voting by NBA coaches.

The selection means the Hawks, with the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference, will be represented at next month’s game in New Orleans.

“It will be a great honor,” Millsap, a first-time All-Star, said Thursday before the league announced the reserves in the evening.

Millsap will be the first Hawks All-Star since Joe Johnson in 2012.
