Simmons scores 19 in Rising Stars Challenge

Team USA may not have come away with the win to wrap up All-Star Friday night, losing 141-150 to the World team, but San Antonio Spurs guard Jonathon Simmons made an impact on the night’s festivities.

Simmons came off the bench, but began to contribute immediately as soon as he entered the game with a mid-range jumper, a rebound and an assist.

Then he put on a show.

Simmons threw down a reverse dunk off a Malcolm Brogdon lob, darted through the defense for a two-hand slam and dribbled past towering defenders for a layup. By the end of the first half, Simmons lead the USA squad with 12 points.
