Rising Stars

Friday, Feb. 14: 9 p.m. ET (TNT)

The Rising Stars challenge will feature the NBA’s top rookies and second-year players, as well as standouts from the G League.

The format: Twenty-eight players have been divided into four teams — to be coached by Warriors franchise favorites — and will compete in a three-game tournament, with the champion earning a spot in Sunday’s All-Star Game tournament.

For Friday’s semifinal games, the winners will be the first teams to reach or surpass 40 points. For the title game, the winner will be the first team to reach or surpass 25 points.

The rosters: The NBA’s assistant coaches selected 10 rookies and 11 sophomores to participate in the game. Victor Wembanyama, Brandon Miller, Scoot Henderson, Dereck Lively II, Cason Wallace and Jared McCain were originally on the rosters, but will not play due to appearing in Sunday’s All-Star Game (Wembanyama) or injury.

They have been replaced by Anthony Black, Toumani Camara, Brandin Podziemski, Julian Strawther, Ausar Thompson and Ryan Dunn.

Here is the full team breakdown, with Team C vs. Team T, and Team G League vs. Team M, facing off in the semis:
