What: 2024 Panini Rising Stars featuring Brandon Miller
When: 9:00pm Eastern
Where: Gainbridge Fieldhouse; Indianapolis, IN
How to watch: TNT
Believe it or not, the Charlotte Hornets don’t have a whole lot of representation at NBA All Star Weekend despite winning three straight games entering the break. The only player to get an invite to any of the festivities is rookie forward Brandon Miller, who is actively stocking his trophy case with rookie accolades.
Miller is on Team Pau, which by my money would be the favorites to win the whole thing. They’ll face Team Detlef (aka the G League team) in a game played as first team to 40 points with no clock. The winner will face the winner of the other game in the championship, which is a game to 25.
Here is Miller’s team:
- Victor Wembanyama (Rookie, San Antonio Spurs)
- Brandon Miller (Rookie, Charlotte Hornets)
- Brandin Podziemski (Rookie, Golden State Warriors)
- Jaime Jaquez. Jr. (Rookie, Miami Heat)
- Jabari Smith Jr. (Sophomore, Houston Rockets)
- Cason Wallace (Rookie, Oklahoma City Thunder)
- Bilal Coulibaly (Rookie, Washington Wizards)
They’ll face a team composed of Izan Almansa, Matas Buzelis, Tyler Smith, Alondes Williams, Oscar Tshiebwe, Mac McClung, and Emoni Bates.
Team Pau vs Team Detlef is scheduled to be the second game of the night, so I’d guess it tips off somewhere around 9:45-ish, but I have nothing to support that except my best educated guess.
Brandon Miller has worked his way into the limelight with some stellar performances earlier this month. You’d love to see him show out with the whole country (world?) watching.
