Atlanta guard Trae Young is headed to the NBA All-Star Game after all, and Dallas guard Kyrie Irving has been picked once again as well.

Commissioner Adam Silver announced Monday that he has added Young to the All-Star roster as an injury replacement for Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will not be able to play because of a calf injury. Later Monday, Silver chose Irving as the injury replacement for his Mavs teammate Anthony Davis — out with a groin injury.
