While the matchups remain unclear, Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray and Orlando Magic rookie Paolo Banchero will be under the same roof once again.
Last time they faced off on the floor, Murray did some disrespectful things to Banchero before the beef really took off on social media. Charlotte Hornets guard Isaiah Thomas will return to TheCrawsOver after last year dropping a tournament-high 81 points.

Crawford announced via Twitter Friday night that Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum will also be present Saturday.
Tatum has never played in the Seattle tournament and according to Crawford, it was LeBron’s idea to get the young superstar in the game.

The Celtics star has been dealing with trade talks regarding his teammates and Kevin Durant, so he’s likely ready to get back on the court. Saturday will be a day to remember at TheCrawsOver.
