Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Josh Okogie has already experienced more highs and lows in the NBA than many veteran players do in their whole careers.
In just the last four months he has dealt with the Jimmy Butler saga, fallen out of the rotation after Butler was traded, and gone through a coaching change all while playing some pretty decent basketball for a 20-year-old.
The Georgia Tech product can now celebrate as it was announced on Tuesday that Okogie will play for Team World in the Rising Stars game — which showcases the league’s best first- and second-year players at NBA All-Star Weekend.
