Jayson Tatum has mixed feelings about letting Rising Stars play in All-Star tournament

The NBA switched from a single All-Star game to a mini-tournament featuring three shorter games. Jayson Tatum says he has mixed feelings about one particular part of the format.

The 24 NBA All-Stars were spread across three teams, and a fourth team, the winning of Friday night’s Rising Stars tournament, was added to the mix. The Rising Stars are comprised of first and second year NBA players.

Tatum’s team, Shaq’s OG’s, won the title. Their matchup with the Rising Stars champs was actually much closer than the championship round against Chuck’s Global Stars, which featured Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and other NBA stars.
