Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker won’t play in the NBA All-Star Game this weekend because of a mild sprain in his left knee, opening up space for Utah’s Mike Conley to make his first All-Star appearance. Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and Conley will all represent the Jazz in the All-Star Game. Booker was set to play in his second All-Star Game after he was put on the roster as an injury replacement for Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis. Conley’s addition to the All-Star roster is a feel-good story for the veteran point guard. Conley is averaging 16.1 points and 5.7 assists for the Jazz, who have the NBA’s best record at 27-9.
