Raptors 905 coach Jerry Stackhouse has been selected to coach the Eastern Conference in the 2017 NBA D-League All-Star Game.

A two-time NBA all-star as a player, Stackhouse earned the right to coach the team after leading the 905 to an Eastern Conference-best 21-7 record through the first half of the D-League season.

Stackhouse gets the all-star nod in just his first season at the helm of the 905.

Los Angeles D-Fenders coach Coby Karl will man the sidelines for the Western Conference. The D-Fenders boast a league-best 22-6 record.

The 2017 NBA D-League All-Star Game takes place on Feb. 18 at 2:30 p.m. ET as part of the NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. In addition to the game itself, the D-League all-star game also includes its own three-point shootout and slam dunk competition.
