It’s the Rising Stars challenge!
For the first time in franchise history, the Houston Rockets have three participants in the game: Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun and Jae’Sean Tate.
A new unique format should make things fresh and add some more intrigue to the game. Four NBA legends — Gary Payton, Rick Barry, James Worthy and Isiah Thomas — drafted six players in the pool of the league’s best rookies and sophomores and one member of the G League Ignite team.
Team Worthy will face Team Isiah in a game to 50. Then, Team Payton and Team Barry will face off in a game to 50.
