Well, The crew that was supposed to go on Apollo 13 was Alan Sheppard's crew, but he got an ongoing ear infection so he and his crew got bumped. Afterwards, Jim Lovell and his crew (Fred Haise, and Ken Mattingly) were assigned for the Apollo 13 mission, but because the doctors thought Ken Mattingly was going to have the measles, he got bumped from the mission and was replaced with Jack Swigert. Hope this helps! :)
Ken Mattingly was removed from the Apollo 13 mission due to concerns about him possibly being exposed to German measles. Mattingly had not contracted the illness as a child and had not built up immunity, so there was a risk he could become sick during the mission. NASA did not want to risk compromising the safety of the crew during the mission.
The original crew for Apollo 13 included Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Ken Mattingly. However, Ken Mattingly was replaced by Jack Swigert just days before the mission due to concerns about his exposure to German measles.
