Celts' Allen ready if tabbed as All-Star (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Ray Allen is again on All-Star standby. Allen made the All-Star team each of the past two seasons as an injury replacement and he's on call again now that Orlando's Jameer Nelson will miss the game with a shoulder injury. If picked, Allen will play for an Eastern Conference team that already boasts his Celtics teammates, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
