Horford replaces ailing Bosh in All-Star Game

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh won't be playing in Sunday's All-Star Game in Toronto due to a strained calf, according to multiple reports.

Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks will replace him in the Eastern Conference lineup.

Bosh played 35 minutes in the Heat's loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, the team's final game before the All-Star break. He's started all 53 games for Miami this season, but did miss time in 2014-15 with a calf injury.

The veteran big man was named to his 11th All-Star team last month.
