The New Orleans Pelicans will be well represented at the Jordan Rising Stars mini tournament during the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend. Jose Alvarado and Trey Murphy were selected earlier today to participate in the 28-player pool that features 11 NBA rookies and 10 sophomores plus seven G League players.
All three games of the Jordan Rising Stars will be played on Friday, Feb. 17, in Salt Lake City beginning at 8:00 p.m. CT.
Herb Jones, who was selected a year ago as a rookie to the event, did not get a return invite, but one wouldn't know that result based on the exuberance displayed for his teammates.
