After missing the chance to join in the Rising Stars Challenge a year ago due to time missed with a hand injury, Myles Turner will make up for it this year when he was announced as part of the U.S. Team at All-Star Weekend.
Turner has had a fantastic sophomore season for the Indiana Pacers, averaging 15.7 points per game, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks, which are historic numbers for a 20-year-old. Reaching this game was a goal of Turner’s heading into the season and after the disappointment of not being chosen last year, he was excited to make amends this year.
