On Thursday, the NBA announced the reserve rosters for the NBA All-Star game. No former Longhorns were added. However, Kevin Durant was already announced as a starter for the Western Conference team.
Before the NBA All-Star game takes place February 19 in New Orleans, there will be the annual NBA Rising Stars Challenge. Former Longhorns star Myles Turner has been selected to represent Team USA against the World.
Turner, who was a First Round pick of the Indiana Pacers in 2015, is averaging 15.7 points per game in his second NBA season. Turner has started all 43 of the Pacers’ games this season.
