Five seasons ago, Kristaps Porzingis was named to the All-Star Game among the reserves, but a torn cruciate ligament in his knee put a damper on his hopes of making his NBA All-Star debut.

Porzingis won the skill competition included in the program six years ago, and he also played twice in the NBA Rising Stars. In his debut season, Rodion Kurucs also participated in the young stars game.
