Phoenix Suns rookie Ryan Dunn was left off the 2025 NBA Rising Stars roster during All-Star weekend, much to the disappointment of fans. Despite averaging 7.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game, Dunn’s defense, with a defended field goal percentage of 40.1%, has been a standout feature. However, hope is not lost as a roster spot opened up due to an injury to Jared McCain, potentially allowing Dunn to be a late addition.
The NBA Rising Stars player pool consists of 21 players, including rookies, sophomores, and G League players, chosen by balloting from assistant coaching staff and the NBA office. The event will feature four teams in a three-game tournament format, with the winning team earning a spot in the NBA All-Star Game.
Despite not initially making the cut, Dunn’s recent performance and defensive capabilities make him a strong candidate for a late addition to the NBA Rising Stars game. Suns fans are hopeful that he will get the recognition he deserves and have their eyes set on a potential spot in the upcoming tournament. As the NBA Rising Stars event approaches, all eyes will be on Dunn to see if he can secure a place among the emerging young stars of the league.
