According to MSG Network’s Rebecca Haarlow, RJ Barrett is going to play in the Rising Stars Game during All-Star weekend. An earlier report from SNY’s Ian Begley stated that the New York Knicks rookie’s participation in the game was unlikely.
Zion Williamson and Luka Doncic headline the USA and World teams, respectively. Williamson will be joined by fellow top-three pick, Ja Morant, on the USA roster. Barrett, on the other hand, will represent Toronto on the World team. The Rising Stars Game will take place on Friday, Feb.
