After initially being left off of the NBA ‘Rising Stars’ rosters for the 2020 All-Star weekend in Chicago, former Alabama guard Collin Sexton has been added in place of an injured Tyler Herro.
The former No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers has been added to ‘Team USA’ where he will be teammates with Zion Williamson, Ja Morant, Trae Young and numerous other talented young NBA stars.
The Young Bull is heading to Chicago!
Congratulations to @CollinSexton02 on being named an #NBAAllStar Rising Star! 🌟

Sexton has had quite a difficult time finding success on the Cavaliers as the team was stripped of its strongest talent shortly before he was drafted.
The All-Star selection is quite an honor, regardless of how it came to be, and it will definitely be a key piece on Sexton’s resume when it comes time for him to be a free agent and look for a long-term home in the NBA.
