When the NBA initially announced the roster of rookie, sophomore and G League players for the Rising Stars Game at Cleveland’s All-Star weekend, Golden State Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga was surprisingly left off the list.
After a notable snub, the No. 7 overall pick from the 2021 NBA draft has been added to the Rising Stars game as a replacement for fellow rookie Chris Duarte, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Indiana Pacers rookie will miss the Rising Stars game due to a toe injury.
