Chris Bosh to miss All-Star Game with injury, will be replaced by Al Horford

Chris Bosh

Alas, the NBA community will regrettably be deprived of the sublime presence of Big Shot Bosh this All-Star Weekend.

Miami Heat big man Chris Bosh has withdrawn his name from Sunday’s All-Star Game according to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical on Friday.

Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports reports that a strained calf is what will prevent Bosh from playing.

Soon afterwards, the NBA announced Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford as Bosh’s replacement on the team.

Bosh was also slated to compete in the Three-Point Contest on Saturday, where he will now be replaced by C.J. McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers, per Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports.

Bosh, 31, is averaging 19.1 points per game and 7.4 rebounds per game for the Heat this season, appearing in all 53 of the team’s games so far.

It would have been nice to see Bosh participate in All-Star Weekend, which is being held in Toronto this year, the city where Bosh was drafted and where he spent the first seven seasons of his NBA career. But unfortunately, the injury bug always ensures that we can’t have nice things.
