Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George will replace New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins in the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.
The NBA announced the decision Saturday after Cousins suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Friday night's 115-113 win over the Houston Rockets.
George will suit up for LeBron James' team.
George, who entered Saturday's win over the Detroit Pistons averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 steals, was widely viewed as one of this year's biggest All-Star snubs when reserves were announced on Tuesday.
