Kyrie Irving to replace injured Anthony Davis as All-Star

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has been added to the NBA's All-Star roster as an injury replacement for his new teammate Anthony Davis.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver made the selection; he also chose Hawks star Trae Young to replace injured Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier Monday.

Irving, 32, makes his ninth All-Star team after averaging 24.1 points and 4.8 assists while shooting 47.5% from the field and 40.7% from 3-point range in 42 games.

Davis, who joined Irving on the Mavs in the trade last week that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, is out with a left adductor strain.
