Scottie Barnes to compete in 2023 Rising Stars Challenge

Scottie Barnes has been named as a participant in the Rising Stars Challenge at NBA All-Star Weekend.

Barnes, the reigning Rookie of the Year, is a no-brainer choice to join the sophomore roster. He’s had an up-and-down season, but seems to have turned things around in January; in 16 games he averaged 18.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists, while shooting 51% from the field.

Hope y’all are ready 4 the Rising Stars game
