is finally headed to his first NBA All-Star Game.

"Hopefully somebody who should have been there and didn’t make it … hopefully, Devin Booker or somebody like that will get the spot," Lillard said Wednesday night. The Suns took their frustration over Booker not being picked as a reserve public earlier this month, after he didn’t pick up enough support from the league’s head coaches.
