Ken Mattingly was originally assigned to the Apollo 13 mission but was replaced by Jack Swigert due to concerns of exposure to German measles.
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! :)
The commander of Apollo 13 was James Lovell.
Ken Mattingly was replaced as the command module pilot for Apollo 13 because he was exposed to German measles and had no immunity to it. To ensure the safety of the crew, Mattingly was replaced by Jack Swigert.
