2013 NBA All-Star Weekend: Ricky Rubio, Alexey Shved particpating

Minnesota did not have a player selected to the 2013 All-Star team, but the Timberwolves will be represented during All-Star weekend.

Point guards Ricky Rubio and Alexey Shved will both play in the Rising Star Challenge. TNT NBA analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal drafted the teams for the event and both Rubio and Shved were drafted to Barkley's team. Both may not play a lot as Team Chuck is loaded with guards. The Rising Stars Challenge will headline Friday's events with the game scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. CT. The event will be televised on TNT.

Kevin Love was one of the stars of All-Star weekend last season, but he was not selected to the team this year and won't defend his three-point title. The three-point contest and slam dunk contest are the marquee events of Saturday night's schedule. Both events are part of NBA All-Star Saturday Night which will begin at 7:30 p.m. CT.

The weekend of events wraps up Sunday with the All-Star game between the East and the West. The game will be televised on TNT with tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m. CT. The complete schedule of events can be found below.
