The Phoenix Suns All-Star backcourt of Devin Booker and Chris Paul have probably swung a baseball bat before.
Not sure how many people saw it, but they'll put those skills to the test in teammate JaVale McGee's JUGLIFE Foundation Water For Life charity softball game on June 22 at Chase Field.
Along with Booker and Paul, Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, Cameron Payne, Cam Johnson, and Ish Wainright have been confirmed to participate in the event, but there is also a disclaimer that "all participants are subject to change."
Deandre Ayton isn't listed as a confirmed participant, but was on the promo poster Wednesday afternoon.
The promo now has Cameron Payne in place of Ayton, who is a restricted free agent.
Updated.
Cameron Payne for Deandre Ayton.

McGee co-founded JUGLIFE with Kez Reed, a managing partner of his own company.
"Our mission is to help everyone understand how critical water is to life and an active lifestyle. There is a water crisis happening around the world with over 780 million people lacking access to clean and safe water, resulting in millions of water-related illnesses and deaths. There is a health crisis happening in the United States with America’s obesity rates reaching record levels."
JUGLIFE prides itself on addressing "both crises by providing clean, safe drinking water in underdeveloped areas of the world, and promoting water as the best choice for an active healthy lifestyle."
