Dwyane Wade announced on Tuesday that he would be sitting out the All-Star Game on Sunday. Which meant that Commissioner Adam Silver needed to name a replacement. Well, he’s made his choice: Hawks sharpshooter Kyle Korver.
Korver’s addition to the East roster means the Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks now have four players on the All-Star team. Korver beat out other candidates like Brandon Knight, Derrick Rose and Nikola Vucevic.
