This year, the Orlando Magic will be represented in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge. Er, sort of.
Ryan Anderson, the Magic's second-year player, was eligible to join the Sophomore roster but didn't make the cut. However, Orlando assistant coach Patrick Ewing will coach the Sophomores and Dwight Howard will commentate a portion of the game in the first half and the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk-In (between DeMar DeRozan and Eric Gordon) at halftime.
So, that's something to look forward to.
