After initially being the two biggest snubs from the Eastern Conference All-Star roster, former UConn greats Kemba Walker and Andre Drummond were added to the NBA All-Star Game as injury replacements for Team LeBron.
Team LeBron saw four of its players get injured, and since three of them came from the Eastern Conference, NBA fans expected Drummond and Kemba to be among the early replacements, although Kemba was initially passed up for Goran Dragic as Kevin Love’s injury replacement.
Drummond will be replacing injured Wizards point guard John Wall, and Kemba is in for Knicks star/unicorn Kristaps Porzingis, who was recently lost for the season with a torn ACL.
