Former Indiana Standout Trayce Jackson-Davis Takes Part In NBA All-Star Sunday
SAN FRANCISCO – Former Indiana University forward Trayce-Jackson Davis got a chance to show off his game to the country on Sunday during NBA All-Star Game festivities at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
Jackson-Davis, who played at Indiana from 2019-23 and who has been with the Golden State Warriors the last two seasons, was not technically an All-Star, but due to the format change in the All-Star Game, he got to take part.
There was not an All-Star Game in the traditional sense. All-Star Sunday featured four teams – one featuring young players against teams featuring established All-Stars. Jackson-Davis and Candace’s Rising Stars had played their way to Sunday’s activities by winning Friday’s Rising Stars Challenge.
Games were played with the first team to score 40 points earning the win.
Jackson-Davis was part of Candace’s Rising Stars, coached by women’s basketball legend Candace Parker. They took on Shaq’s OGs, a team of established stars, coached by Shaquille O’Neal.
One of Jackson-Davis’s teammates on the Rising Stars was his former nemesis at Purdue, Zach Edey, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Shaq’s OGs defeated Candace’s Rising Stars 41-25. Jackson-Davis played six minutes and made his only shot. He also had an assist and a steal.
Shaq’s OGs would go on to win the All-Star Tournament with a 41-25 victory over Chuck’s Global Stars.
Jackson-Davis and the Rising Stars advanced to the All-Star Game by winning the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday.
Jackson-Davis, playing for Team C, scored six points in Friday’s first game as Team C defeated Team T 40-34.
In Friday’s Rising Stars championship game, with a target score of 25, Team C beat Team G League 25-14. Jackson-Davis did not score in that game.
Jackson-Davis is averaging 7.6 points and 5.9 rebounds for the Warriors. He’s started 37 of the 49 games he’s played in for Golden State, though his minutes have been diminished of late. The Warriors are currently 28-27 and have the 10th and final spot to make the postseason from the Western Conference.
Golden State could be a threat going forward as they acquired veteran star Jimmy Butler just before the NBA trade deadline. The Warriors are 3-1 since they acquired Butler.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — More than 50 Indiana law enforcement agencies are taking to the roof to help local athletes.
Police and safety officers will be stationed around various Dunkin’ Donuts, taking up donations for the Special Olympics. People who monetarily donate will receive a coupon for a free donut. Those who donate $10 or more will receive a coupon for a free medium hot coffee.
“Supporting the Special Olympics isn’t just an event for us — it’s a commitment to people who inspire us every day,” Sergeant Wes Rowlader said. “These athletes show what determination, courage, and community truly look like. Every dollar we raise helps transform that spirit into training, competition, and lifelong confidence.”
More than 20,000 Hoosier athletes train and compete for free within the Special Olympics. To date, Cop on a Rooftop has raised more than $125,000 for Special Olympics Indiana.
The Indiana State Police will be at the Dunkin’ Donuts at 9821 Lima Road in Fort Wayne from 5 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday.
A man’s family is demanding answers after he was shot by a security guard inside a hospital emergency room waiting area on Tuesday night in Gary, Indiana.
Methodist Northlake Hospital officials said, around midnight Tuesday night, its security staff responded quickly after a patient took out a gun. The hospital said he’d threatened to shoot himself or others.
The hospital commended the security guard who shot the man for “neutralizing the threat and helping ensure the safety of our patients and employees.”
Family members identified the man who was shot as Otis Brown. They said he is a kind father to a 12-year-old boy.
“Just a great person, a happy-go-lucky, always out there trying to do the right thing,” said his fiancée, Stacey Taylor.
Taylor said she was on a business trip when she got a call that Brown had been shot multiple times.
“Scared, uncertainty; you know, what story is right? You know, what happened?” she said.
After he was shot, Brown was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.
Taylor said she had no idea why Brown went to Methodist Northlake Hospital in the first place. His family said he was trying to leave the hospital when the shooting happened, claiming that the hospital gave him his gun back after he was cleared to leave.
“We just want to get answers, just want to know what happened, particularly when people are defaming his name,” Taylor said.
She and Brown’s family hope the hospital has surveillance video footage that can help provide answers.
Gary police have not provided any details on the shooting. The Lake County Sheriff’s Department said it is investigating the shooting at the request of Gary police, but did not provide any further information.
