Although the game is set to take place on Valentine’s Day, there was one player who did not receive much love from those who voted on the rosters, and that is Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr.
There were plenty of snubs from this year’s Rising Stars Challenge, most notably Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton, who is averaging 19.6 points per game this season.
The argument against Sexton and many of those who were left off the Rising Stars’ rosters was how their individual performances did not contributed to team success. That is not the case for Porter Jr.
