AJ Dybantsa to miss the 2025 Iverson Classic All-American game

This year's Iverson Classic will be held at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va. on May 3. The event announced most of the lineup including some top prospects including Nate Ament, Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson and Darius Acuff, among others.

However, Dybantsa will not make it to the tournament because it clashes with his BYU schedule. The Brockton, MA native will enroll with the Cougars at the end of April.

Dybantsa's absence will be filled by some other prospect, according to On3 with the roster being split into two teams.
