Conley will also be replacing Booker in the three-point contest. Booker is unable to play due to a sprained left knee, and was originally the replacement in the event for Anthony Davis.
Conley, 33, is averaging 29.4 minutes, 16.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 29 games so far this season. He is also shooting a career-high 42.2 per cent from beyond the arc.
This is Conley’s first invite to the All-Star Game in his 14 season career.
You can watch the All-Star Game on Sunday starting at 5 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and SN Now.
