Luka Doncic and Dirk Nowitzki will both be part of the Rising Stars game during All-Star weekend in February, with Doncic to play and Nowitzki to serve as the honorary coach of the World Team, Mavericks PR confirmed in an email sent out Tuesday night.
The game will be Friday, Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. CT on TNT. The Rising Stars game has always been about the league’s best rookies and sophomores going head-to-head but back in 2015, they changed the format a tad to make it Team USA vs Team World, with rookies and sophomores on mixed on each squad.
