The NBA All-Star 2016 Weekend is right around the corner and four Denver Nuggets players will be in attendance.
Danilo Gallinari, Will Barton, Emmanuel Mudiay and Nikola Jokic make up the most Nuggets players to participate in the All-Star Weekend in the past 11 years. The last time the Nuggets had nearly one-third of the team partaking in the season’s highest rated NBA event was in 2005, following the time in 2004 when five players attended.
Gallinari is set to be a Basketball Without Borders coach, Barton is in the line-up for the Slam-Dunk Contest, rookies Mudiay and Jokic will be teammates during the Rising Stars Challenge (formerly known as Rookie/Sophomore Game), and Mudiay will also be participating in the Skills Challenge.
