DeMarcus Cousins missed the All-Star game due to a torn Achilles. But, his teammate Anthony Davis did not let fans miss Boogie. Davis, instead of wearing his regular jersey no. 23, wore Cousins' jersey but later switched to his own jersey.

Cousins had a ruptured left Achilles tendon on January 26 and will be out of the court for the whole season.
Pelicans' Cousins and Davis were both included to the Team LeBron and were expected to start in this year's All-Star Game before Cousins' injury.
Paul George, Oklahoma City Thunder forward, will replace Cousins on Team LeBron.
Davis has been selected for five All-Star games so far while Cousins has played in four.
