Suns guard Devin Booker is headed to the 2021 NBA All-Star Game after it was announced that he will serve as Anthony Davis’ injury replacement. HoopsHype contributor Michael Scotto delivered the news on Wednesday.
Davis, who last appeared on the court in a Feb. 14 matchup against the Nuggets, has been out of the Lakers’ rotation with a calf injury. Booker, a 24-year-old score-first guard, is enjoying a stellar season alongside new backcourt partner Chris Paul. To start the season, Booker is averaging 24.7 points and 4.3 assists per game.
