Wall, an All-Star for the fifth consecutive season, will be out with a left knee injury. He was selected as a reserve and picked by team captain LeBron James.

It will be Drummond’s second All-Star nod in his career. He is averaging an NBA-leading and career-high 15.1 rebounds per game to go with 14.7 points, a career-high 3.8 assists, a career-high 1.54 steals and 1.37 blocked shots.

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Wednesday and could miss much of the rest of the regular season.

The Wizards announced Tuesday that Wall would have the operation in Cleveland and that a timeline for his return would be determined afterward. The player could miss six to eight weeks.
