Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Sacramento Kings' De'Aaron Fox and Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam were selected on Friday by NBA commissioner Adam Silver as injury replacements for next weekend's All-Star Game.
They will step in for injured trio Stephen Curry, Zion Williamson and Kevin Durant, who was traded to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.
Since Curry, Williamson and Durant had been scheduled to start, Joel Embiid, Ja Morant and Lauri Markkanen will move into the starting line-ups.
For Edwards and Fox, this is their first NBA All-Star selection, and it's the second for Siakam.
On the season, Edwards, 21, is averaging 24.7 points, six rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game - all career highs - in his third campaign. He leads the NBA in steals with 96 and minutes with 2,099.
Fox, 25, has averages of 24.2 points, 6.3 assists and a career-high 4.3 rebounds. He is shooting 50.4 per cent from the field - also a career high - and leads the NBA with 128 clutch points.
