So he reinjured an injury that he suffered a few minutes before? In order to reinjure yourself, the injury had to be healed in the first place.

It would be David Stern's decision who replaces him on the 12 man team.

Which happens first?
Could Doc name the newly-appointed 13th man as a starter?

Chris Bosh

I would hope that Doc Rivers would name the next highest-voted Forward into the starting lineup first (Chris Bosh), and that David Stern would name the replacement in reaction.
Who better to replace Kevin Garnett than Chris Bosh, who has virtually the exact same skill-set?
Either a perimeter-oriented and/or undersized center would need to be named to the squad to replace Bosh's role with the second unit. Rasheed Wallace (both), Emeka Okafor (*undersized*), Zydrunas Ilgauskus (perimeter) and Andrew Bogut (neither, but 14/7 is equivalent to Rasheed's production) would be candidates.

I would have it look like:
Kidd/Billups
Wade/Pierce/Hamilton/Johnson
James/Butler
Bosh/Jamison/Garnett*
Howard/Wallace
This wouldn't really mess with the dynamic of the lineups, and a reasonable *snub* (one of the better centers on the second best team in the East) would get the honor.

Way to read my post!
Rasheed Wallace, Andrew Bogut, Emeka Okafor, Shaquille O'Neal (if you wanted to get technical, I believe he could play for the East), and *perhaps* Samuel Dalembert. Only because he's posting a double-double, shooting 50%, and is a shot-blocker. and is super-athletic and therefore EXCITING.

i know, but any of those is all-star material.
maybe, maybe, rasheed.

I hope Pierce sits out the game, too, personally.

Hedo should be the replacement player.

Replacement starter who cares

So anyways... you look really smart now since KG is going to miss the game.

Doc will name a replacement in the starting lineup and Rasheed gets the spot deservedly so since a back-up Center was needed. If Butler sits it out Hedo will most likely get the spot.

If KG sits out the All Star Game...

IF KG sits out, who takes the starting Power Forward spot?
