Technically, summer isn’t over. That means there’s still time for one more NBA player-infused exhibition game for charity – and to remind us what might go missing this fall and winter should the lockout continue.
The latest spectacle is set for Saturday at Coolidge High in the District, where some 10 or more NBA players are expected to take part in what is being billed as Clash of Superstars.
The list: Kevin Durant, DeMarcus Cousins, Jeff Green, Kemba Walker, Jarrett Jack, James Harden, Corey Brewer, Greg Monroe, Eric Maynor, and John Wall.
Tickets are available at the door on Saturday at Coolidge (6315 5th St NW), $30 general admission, $20 youth, with balcony seats at $50. Doors open at 2, game at 3.
Of course, Wall is in Las Vegas to participate in the Impact Basketball Competitive Training Series, a NBA player-only two-week league which starts Monday afternoon, and his roster includes fellow Wizards Nick Young, Jordan Crawford, Shelvin Mack, Larry Owens and Rashard Lewis (who is listed on the roster for week 2), as well as Terrico White, Marcus Banks and Desmon Farmer. Wall’s team plays at 6:30 ET, and the game will be streamed on Impactbball.com.
