On the back of an early Australian Open exit, Nick Kyrgios has been a surprise omission from the NBA All-Star Celebrity game.

After causing controversy last year by cancelling a contract to play in the Rotterdam Open to make himself available for the match, the world No.15's name was nowhere to be seen when the teams were recently announced.

A usually vocal and basketball loving Kyrgios hasn't yet commented on his omission from the game but it comes in the wake of an already turbulent year for the Australian.

The NBA Celebrity Game will take place during the All-Star Weekend with ex-NBA players, actors, rappers and even a chef on show.
