After initially not being included in the field of rookies, sophomores and G League players at the Rising Stars Game at NBA All-Star weekend in Cleveland, Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga got the call for the game when Indiana Pacers rookie Chris Duarte was ruled out due to injury.
Kuminga joined Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, Toronto’s Scottie Barnes, Chicago’s Ayo Dosunmu, Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels, Denver’s Bones Hyland and G League Ignite representative Scoot Henderso on NBA Hall of Famer Gary Payton’s team on Friday in Cleveland.
