NBA Rising Stars rosters 2025: Players, format, rules and coaches
Before the 2025 NBA All-Stars come out to play in San Francisco, 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 each other, 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. And the winning team will play in the All-Star Game tournament on Sunday.
Got it? Good. Here's a look at the four rosters coached by some NBA legends, with one team made up of G Leaguers:
