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They have been replaced by Anthony Black, Toumani Camara, Brandin Podziemski, Julian Strawther, Ausar Thompson and Ryan Dunn.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

Saturday, Feb. 15: 8 p.m. ET (TNT)

Four two-man teams will compete in this year’s skill competition, which has traditionally tested the players’ dribbling, passing and shooting skills.

Here are the participants:

• Team Cavs (Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley)

• Team Rooks (Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr)

• Team Spurs (Chris Paul, Victor Wembanyama)

• Team Warriors (Draymond Green, Moses Moody)

Saturday, Feb. 15: 8 p.m. ET (TNT)

This year’s field includes two-time reigning 3-point champion, Damian Lillard, who is also among five 2025 All-Stars competing in the shootout. Lillard will look to become the third player in the contest’s history to threepeat, joining Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.

Here’s the full list of participants:

Sunday, Feb. 16: 8 p.m. ET (TNT & TruTV)

The 74th NBA All-Star Game will feature 24 of the league’s brightest stars — headlined by LeBron James making his record 21st All-Star appearance — in a new tournament-style format this year.

The format: Similar to the Rising Stars challenge, the NBA All-Stars will now compete in a three-game tournament. The All-Stars have been split into three teams — through an All-Star draft conducted by TNT analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith. The fourth team in the tournament will be the winner of Friday’s Rising Stars championship game.

For each game in Sunday’s tournament, the winner will be the first team to reach or surpass 40 points.

As for prize money, each player on the championship-winning team will receive $125,000; each player on the second-place team will receive $50,000; and each player on the third- and fourth-place teams will receive $25,000.

The rosters: The All-Star teams are comprised of the East and West starters (voted by fans, players and media members) and reserves (voted by coaches). Trae Young and Kyrie Irving were named as injury replacements for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis, respectively.

Here’s a breakdown of the rosters (listed in order of how each team was drafted).
