The two players were in contact with a barber who tested positive for COVID-19, according to ESPN.

Williamson will now get the start for Team Durant. He was initially selected as an All-Star reserve.

The second year player for New Orleans will be the third player in franchise history to start in the All-Star game. Chris Paul and Anthony Davis were the other two players, while DeMarcus Cousins was selected as a starter but never played due to injury.

Williamson is averaging 25.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season.
