This happened two days ago, but I think we managed to completely miss it here. I don't remember hearing about it on the game broadcasts either, but perhaps it was on one of the pre-game shows.

Anyway, there's no game this year due to COVID, and I think Tyrese being named to the team isn't any real surprise to us here, but it's a nice recognition. Now let's hope he doesn't get named to the Rising Stars Team next year (because he's named to the actual All-Star Squad! )

so since they aren't doing the skills challenge, three point shootout or dunk contest, will those contestants just remain the same for the next All-Star weekend in 2022?

 

[Section 101]

they are doing the 3pt and dunk contest.

Is Tyrese playing or sitting it out? I assume he's sitting it out since he's been injured the last few games.

I don't believe they are actually playing the game.

Ah, shows how much attention I've paid to this ASB.
