The Utah Jazz’s Lauri Markkanen has been moved into the starting lineup of the Feb. 19 game in Salt Lake City after three players were ruled out due to injury.
Two other starters for the game were also ruled out Friday due to injury — Warriors guard Stephen Curry , and forward Kevin Durant , who was voted in as an Eastern Conference starter while a member of the Brooklyn Nets, who who was subsequently traded to the Phoenix Suns.
In order to fill out the All-Star rosters, NBA commissioner Adam Silver named the Kings’ De’Aaron Fox, the Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, and the Raptors’ Pascal Siakam as injury replacements.Previous seasons have seen the highest vote-getters in each conference serve as team captains, then participate in a televised draft roughly a week before the game, first alternating picks from among the pool of players chosen as starters, then from the reserves.
