[ASFN Admin]

The NBA on Tuesday unveiled the teams set to compete in the 2026 NBA Rising Stars Game on Feb. 13 as part of All-Star Weekend in Inglewood, California.

The pool of players for the annual showcase consists of 10 rookies, 11 second-year players and seven players from the G League. The NBA players were selected by assistant coaches, while the league office chose the G League players.

Hall of Famers Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady, who are honorary coaches, drafted their teams from the pool of 21 rookies and sophomores live on Peacock courtside at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Former 11-year veteran Austin Rivers will coach the G League team.

The event features four seven-player teams competing in a three-game tournament at the Intuit Dome. The two semifinal games will be played to a target score of 40, and the championship game will be played to a target score of 25.

San Antonio Spurs guard and 2025 NBA Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle was the unanimous MVP of the Rising Stars Game last year in San Francisco, California.
