Ray Allen has been made an All-Star the last two seasons due to injuries, and is he about to make it three in a row?

According to the Associated Press, the Celtics' star guard was considered one of the league's biggest snubs when the teams were announced last week, but with Orlando guard Jameer Nelson possibly missing the rest of the season with a shoulder injury, there may be an open spot on the Eastern roster.

"I'm like the National Guard," Allen said on Tuesday. "When I'm called on, I do my duty."

"It doesn't taint me being an All-Star in any form or fashion," he said. "Hopefully everybody feels that same way. Every player in the NBA wants to be an All-Star."

His Boston teammate, Rajon Rondo, and Cleveland's Mo Williams are also among the likely replacements. NBA commissioner David Stern will pick the reserve.

"Until they tell me it's different, I'm not going," Allen said. "They could always pick somebody else."
