Blazers Duo Shines in Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star Weekend

Donovan Clingan and Yang Hansen were standout figures for their teams on day one of the Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star weekend in Inglewood. Clingan opened strong for Team Melo with nine points and a block, while Hansen racked up 10 points on efficient shooting for Team Austin. The event featured rookies and sophomores competing in a two-semi-final format, with Team Melo advancing to the final after a 40-34 win, and Hansen delivering a notable highlight. In the end, VJ Edgecombe’s late free throws sealed a dramatic finish, as Clingan’s Team Melo fell in the final. Portland fans will next watch Damian Lillard in the 3-point contest.
