How Kuminga fared in Rising Stars Game for Team Payton

Jonathan Kuminga got a taste of NBA All-Star weekend on Friday. 

Though short and sweet, the Warriors 19-year-old rookie stepped foot on the big stage in the NBA All-Star Rising Stars Game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on Friday night. 

JK finished with two points on 1-of-4 shooting from the field and 0-2 from deep and dished out an assist in Team Payton’s 50-48 loss to Team Barry. 

Kuminga was a late addition to the squad, replacing Indiana Pacers rookie guard Chris Duarte who missed due to a toe injury. 

His teammates included LaMelo Ball, Scottie Barnes, Ayo Dosunmu, Scoot Henderson, Bones Hyland and Jaden McDaniel.
