Sacramento Kings rookie swingman Omri Casspi will be a participant in H.O.R.S.E., presented by Geico at the NBA 2010 All-Star Weekend in Dallas on Saturday, according to a report by J.E. Skeets of Yahoo! Sports.

The event is this Saturday at 4 p.m. on TNT. The report also indicates that last year's H.O.R.S.E. champion, Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Kevin Durant, and Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo will also compete for the title.

Casspi has already been selected to the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam, where he will play for the rookie team along with rookie teammate Tyreke Evans.

The game is this Friday at 6 p.m. on TNT.

Evans will also compete in the Haier Shooting Stars contest, representing Team Sacramento with former King Chris Webber and former Sacramento Monarchs forward Nicole Powell.

The contest starts at 5 p.m. on Satruday, also on TNT.

If Casspi is selected to play H.O.R.S.E. the Kings will be represented in three All-Star events this weekend. The last time the Kings were represented in an event was 2004 when Peja Stojakovic competed in the Three-Point Contest and Brad Miller played in the All-Star Game.

In an interview before the playing the Knicks in New York, which the Kings won 118-114 in OT, coach Paul Westphal mentioned that Casspi would be competing in H.O.R.S.E. It's official.
