Mike Conley invited to first All-Star game replacing Devin Booker
Mike Conley previously held the title of the best active player to not make an All-Star game, but it looks like that will be no more. On Friday night, the NBA announced that would be no more. Conley will be replacing Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker in both the All-Star game on Sunday night as well as the 3-Point Contest.
Phoenix’s Devin Booker has been replaced by Utah’s Mike Conley Jr. in the 2021 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. Conley will also participate in the 3-point contest.
