Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley has been added to the Team Durant roster for the NBA All-Star Game as an injury replacement for Phoenix Suns standout Devin Booker.
Conley, 33, joins Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert as the NBA-leading Jazz’s third representative at the game.
The Brooklyn Nets also have three All-Stars – James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, though Durant won’t play due to injury.

Conley, who is in his second year with the Jazz after 12 seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, will also take Booker’s spot in Sunday’s three-point contest.
He is averaging 16.1 points, 5.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, while shooting a strong 42.2 per cent from three-point range. The Jazz have the best record in the NBA at 27-9.
