Before the NBA All-Stars come out to play in Indianapolis, we’ll get to see the young studs tearing it up.
That’s right, it’s the annual Rising Stars event, which has gone from being a game to a whole tournament.
Here’s how it works: four teams will play after drafting their teams, and they’ll have a target score to hit (the Elam Ending!), and the winners of the first two games will play each other for the title.
Got it? Good. Here’s a look at the four rosters coached by some NBA and WNBA legends, with one team made up of G Leaguers:
