LaMelo Ball, Dejounte Murray named as injury replacements for All-Star Game

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has named two injury replacements for the upcoming All-Star Game, and it's two players many thought should have been All-Stars to begin with.

Those players are LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets and Dejounte Murray of the San Antonio Spurs, which the NBA announced Monday afternoon. Ball will replace the Brooklyn Nets' Kevin Durant, who is out with a sprained MCL. Murray will replace Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors, who is out with a back injury.
