The NBA announced today that Celtics guard Ray Allen will replace Orland Magic guard Jameer Nelson on the Eastern Conference All-Star roster for the 2009 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix, Ariz.
Allen will join Celtics Kevin Garnett (starter) and Paul Pierce (reserve) in the All-Star Game.
Nelson tore the labrum in his right shoulder this week and will not be available for the game. Allen was named to the Eastern Conference squad last year as a replacement.
