NEW YORK – Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton will replace injured Miami Heat

guard Tyler Herro on the U.S. Team in the 2020 NBA Rising Stars, which will be
played on Friday, Feb. 14 at the United Center in Chicago.

Sexton is averaging a team-high 19.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game
in his second NBA season. He is the third-leading scorer among second-year NBA
players, behind 2020 NBA All-Stars and Rising Stars participants Trae Young of the
Atlanta Hawks and Luka Dončić of the Dallas Mavericks. Sexton, who was selected by
Cleveland with the eighth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, was named to the 2018-19 NBA
All-Rookie Second Team last season.

Herro has missed Miami’s last three games with a sore right ankle. He ranks sixth
among NBA rookies in scoring (13.1 ppg) and third in three-point field goal
percentage (39.3). Herro has made a rookie-leading 99 three-pointers.

The 2020 NBA Rising Stars pits 10 first- and second-year NBA players from the
United States against 10 first- and second-year NBA players from the rest of the
world in the league’s annual showcase of premier young talent during NBA All-Star.
Rising Stars will air live at 9 p.m. ET on TNT and ESPN Radio in the United States.
NBA All-Star 2020 will reach fans in 215 countries and territories in 47 languages.

The rosters for the 2020 NBA Rising Stars are available here.
