Devin Booker replacing injured Anthony Davis in All-Star Game

This didn't take long.

After Devin Booker's omission from NBA All-Star rosters drew widespread criticism on Tuesday, he joined the Western Conference All-Stars on Wednesday.

The NBA announced that the Phoenix Suns guard will replace injured Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis. Davis was selected as a reserve, but is sidelined with a calf strain. Commissioner Adam Silver made the decision to add Booker.

The selection is Booker's second straight and the second of his career. Silver also chose Booker as an injury replacement last season for Damian Lillard.
