Horford will replace the injured Chris Bosh (calf) on the Eastern Conference roster for Sunday's All-Star Game in Toronto, Sports Illustrated reports.

Analysis:

Bosh is the second Eastern Conference player to drop out due to injury after Chicago's Jimmy Butler (knee) was replaced earlier in the week by teammate Pau Gasol. It will be the second consecutive All-Star bid for Horford, whose numbers are very similar to those he put up in 2014-15. The 29-year-old enters the weekend averaging 15.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 blocks while shooting 50.7 percent from the field for an Atlanta team that sits in fourth place in the East, 8.5 games back of first-place Cleveland.
