According to Royce Young at CBSSports:
The league announced Wednesday that Brooklyn big manBrook Lopez will replace Rajon Rondo on the Eastern Conference team. Rondo is unable to play because of a torn ACL that has him out for the remainder of the season.
Originally, the Nets, who are fourth in the East at 27-18, didn’t have a single All-Star. Lopez had the best case of anyone on the team, averaging 18.6 points and 7.3 rebounds with a robust PER of 25.23.
Lopez was seen as one of the biggest snubs in the selection, because of the Nets’ record and his contribution to their success.
