Jamar Wilson has received a last-minute call-up to play in the 2012 National Basketball League All-Star Game at Adelaide Arena tomorrow.

Wilson has been called into the North All-Stars side after Sydney Kings guard Corin Henry was taken to hospital on Tuesday after collapsing at practice.

Henry was yesterday discharged from hospital but will be unable to travel to Adelaide with the rest of the All-Stars for this weekend’s NBL showcase.

Wilson should prove a more than able replacement, as he is currently averaging 15.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists for the Taipans.
