NBA: All-Star Game: Walker replaces Porzingis

Commissioner Adam Silver has appointed the successor for the injured Kristaps Porzingis at the All-Star Game: Point Guard Kemba Walker from the Charlotte Hornets.

This was announced by the NBA on Friday. Walker scores 22.6 points and 5.8 assists for the Hornets this season. He is already the fourth successor in the LeBron James team: DeMarcus cousins (chili tendon tearing), John Wall (knee surgery) and Kevin Love (hand fracture) had already injured themselves before Porzingis (cross ligament tear) had done so.

Since Porzingis should have taken part in the Skills Challenge as well, there is a successor: Center Andre Drummond from the Detroit Pistons.
