Irving, Davis say they’ll play in All-Star game

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Latest on NBA All-Star Weekend (all times local):

12:35 p.m.

Boston’s Kyrie Irving and New Orleans’ Anthony Davis say they both plan to play in Sunday’s All-Star game.

Both have been dealing with injuries lately. Irving has been dealing with a strained right knee for about a week, and Davis left New Orleans’ last game before the All-Star break with a bruised muscle in his left shoulder.

Irving is a starter on Team LeBron, and Davis is one of the reserves on that team.

Irving was definitive, saying he is fine and ready to go.
