The Spurs’ representation at All-Star weekend just got even wider as the Spurs announced the Harpers will participate in the Kia Shooting Challenge together. That will include Spurs rookie Dylan Harper,
his brother Ron Harper, Jr., who is currently a two-way player for the Boston Celtics, and their father: five-time NBA champion Ron Harper, Sr.
Dylan was already set to represent the Spurs in the Rising Stars Challenge, along with sophomore and reigning MVP of the event, Stephon Castle. Spurs two-way player David Jones-Garcia was also set to participate on the G League team but has been ruled out after undergoing ankle surgery last week. Also representing the Spurs will be their other rookie, Carter Bryant, in the dunk contest, and of course Victor Wembanyama will be an All-Star starter for Team World in the main event.
All-Star weekend will take place next weekend at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. You can check out the entire schedule here. Rising Stars will be on Friday, February 13 beginning at 8:00 PM CT on ESPN. Saturday will feature Shooting Stars starting at 4:00 PM CT, followed by the 3-point Shootout and Slam Dunk Contest (I guess the Skills Challenge is defunct now), and finally the All-Star Game on Sunday, beginning at 4:00 PM CT.
