  New York, NY (Sports Network) - Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman was named the replacement for injured Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy Monday for the NBA All-Star Game to be held February 14 in Dallas.

  Kaman, a seventh-year pro, is in the midst of his best NBA season averaging a career-high 20.2 points and 9.0 rebounds, while shooting 49.7 percent from the field through 44 games. The oft-injured 7-footer will be making his first All- Star appearance.

  It was announced Saturday that Roy would be held out until after the break to help heal a strained right hamstring.
