Ever since the All-Star selection process finished. Everybody is getting injured! Kobe, Griffin, Wade, Davis. Everybody is dropping like flies! The injuries are so crazy that even the snubs are getting a look in. Lillard, Cousins and Korver are all in the All-Star Game despite the snubbing by the fans and coaches.
With the All-Star Game just a day away. The coach of the Western Conference, Golden State’s Steve Kerr had to pick a replacement for the injured Anthony Davis. Now. Earlier today ESPN’s Marc Stein reported that Kevin Durant will be Davis’ replacement.

But now reports are saying that Kerr has actually changed his mind and will now designate Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge as the starter for the Western Conference.

Pick a lane Steve! I mean man does it really matter? You could name Kevin Durant the starter and then bench him on the first timeout of the game. It doesn’t matter. The only difference is that your name gets announced at a different time.
