Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis was selected for his eighth consecutive All-Star Game as a member of the reserves. Davis will likely need a replacement due to his calf strain, but he will receive the selection accolade, adding to an already impressive résumé.
A total of 14 reserves were chosen for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game that is taking place March 7 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. They will be selected to rosters by team captains LeBron James and Kevin Durant in the fourth annual All-Star Draft on March 4 at 5:00 p.m. PT.
Davis was one of seven Western Conference reserves. The two guard spots were given to Utah Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell and Portland Trail Blazers’ Damian Lillard. The three forward spots went to Davis, Rudy Gobert, and L.A. Clippers’ Paul George.
