Favors and Evans could make it to all-star weekend after all?

"Just informed there's a good chance #UtahJazz's Derrick Favors could be added to #NBA All-Star Rising Stars Challenge."

"If Favors is added, he'd likely replace Spurs' Tiago Splitter, who's out two weeks due to a calf strain."

"Favors' addition makes sense and he easily had numbers to make first cut. Will see what #NBA decides. Also told decision is not final."

"Also worth keeping an eye on Iman Shumpert's knee injury. If he's forced to sit out All-Star weekend, it could possibly open door for #UtahJazz's Jeremy Evans to sneak last-minute into #NBA All-Star dunk contest."

That would be sweet if Evans gets in the dunk contest

I hope Evans also gets in. Who knows when he will have the opportunity to participate in the All-star festivities?

Let Jeremy dunk!!

Pekovic deserves to be in the game more than Favors.

Agreed & I'd rather see Evans dunk over Favors in that pick-up game.
