There are three nights of on-court events, highlighted by the Rising Stars competition for first- and second-year players on Friday, the dunk and 3-point contest on Saturday and the All-Star Game on Sunday, which has a new format this year.

After initially getting snubbed for the NBA All-Star Game, Kyrie Irving has now been tabbed as a replacement. The West Orange, N.J. native was selected by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace his injured Dallas Mavericks’ teammate Anthony Davis in Sunday night’s game at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

In Sunday's NBA All-Star Game, one Dallas Maverick will replace another. Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving will take center Anthony Davis's spot in the annual contest, according to a Monday afternoon report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
