Phoenix Suns rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro were left off the February 14th Rising Stars Challenge rosters for All-Star Weekend in San Francisco.
The NBA announced the player pool for the 2025 Castrol Rising Stars games earlier this week. The roster is a selection of 11 sophomores, 10 rookies, and seven G-Leaguers. Of note, Victor Wembanyama, Zaccahrie Risacher, and Brandon Miller were selected.
While Ighodaro wasn’t expected to make the team, Dunn’s strong defense and his 9.2 points and nearly 4 rebounds a contest during his 24 starts appeared to give him a chance.
