Former Indiana men’s basketball star Trayce Jackson-Davis was named to the 2025 NBA Rising Stars roster pool on Tuesday.
The pool consists of players in their first or second year of NBA play. This mark’s Jackson-Davis’ first appearance after missing the cut last year as a rookie. Former Hoosier Kel’el Ware, a rookie for the Miami Heat, missed the cut despite his recent emergence as a starter.
NBA assistant coaches will draft three teams from the available pool while a fourth team will consist of players from the NBA’s G League. From there, the four teams will participate in a tournament with the eventual winner playing in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game tournament.
