Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball and San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray will make their NBA All-Star Game debuts after being named as injury replacements by commissioner Adam Silver on Monday.
Ball will take the spot of Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant, while Murray will sub for Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. Durant is recovering from a sprained MCL in his left knee, and Green has a lower-back disc injury and said last week that he would miss the All-Star Game.
