Golden State Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga will be playing for Team Payton tonight in the NBA’s Clorox Rising Stars tournament. The event will start at 6pm PT in Cleveland and can be watched on TNT.

The NBA has adopted a new format for their annual Rookie-Sophomore game. This year features a tournament of four teams comprised of 12 rookies, 12 sophomores, and 4 G-League Ignite players. Hall of Fame players and members of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team Rick Barry, Gary Payton, Isiah Thomas, and James Worthy each drafted a team and will serve as their coach (Rosters for each team can be found below).

There will be two rounds in this tournament. The first round is a game to 50 points and the final round will be the first to 25 points. Here is the bracket:

Kuminga was a late add to Team Payton after an injury to Indiana Pacers rookie Chris Duarte. He will be a great addition to the event as he has already wowed Warriors fans with numerous highlight dunks to start his young career.

It should be a fun event. Enjoy the basketball Dub Nation! GO KUMINGA!!!
