James Harden to replace Tyreke Evans in the Rookie Challenge

We were all a bit disappointed when James Harden missed the cut for the Rookie/Sophomore game. Well, now he’s in.

Tyreke Evans is a scratch as he’ll sit resting his left foot. Evans has been fighting plantar facitiis in the foot all season.

Harden makes it four Thunder players participating in All-Star Weekend. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are All-Stars and Serge Ibaka and Harden are in the Rookie Challenge. Durant and Ibaka of course will also take part in All-Star Saturday night as well, with KD in the 3-point contest and Ibaka in the dunk competition.
