Minnesota Timber wolves forward Kevin Love has replaced injured center
Yao Ming on the Western Conference team for the 2011 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles, the league said yesterday.
Love was chosen by Commissioner David Stern to fill in for China's Yao, who was voted on despite being unavailable after undergoing ankle surgery which threatens his career.
The Western Conference team will be led by Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, who will be joined in the starting lineup by Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony.
Love earns his first All-Star Game selection but is not assured of being the fifth starters, which will be decided by West coach Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs.
