For the second straight year, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was named as a participant in the Rising Stars Game as part of NBA All-Star Weekend.
Tatum will play as a member of Team USA, as the Risings Stars Game is a Team USA vs Team World format.
Last year, Tatum came off the bench for Team USA and scored 15 points in 26 minutes. He shot 7-of-13 in the game. Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown started that game and scored a game-high 35 points on 14-of-21 shooting.
