Should a player drop out of the All-Star Game, Commissioner Adam Silver would name a replacement. Coaches are charged with naming who moves into the starting lineup should a starter be unable to play, but do not have a say on which players are added as replacements. “We get to be able to pick the other starter,” Spoelstra said, with Durant possibly to sit out All-Star Weekend due to an ongoing knee issue. “So I was hoping I’d be able select Jimmy, and then I realized, he might not be on our team. Then I thought can we pick another All-Star player. That is not going to be my decision. That’ll be Adam’s.”
