NBA All-Star Rising Stars game 2023: Full list of players, teams and format

NBA All-Star weekend 2023 is here, and it all starts with a look at the future stars.

The format on Friday night will work this way: Four teams made up of seven players will compete in a tournament in which three games will decide the winner. The winner is declared when a team hits a certain final score (40 in the first two games, 25 in the final).

Each team has an honorary, coach who drafted a team: Pau Gasol, Jason Terry, Joakim Noah and Deron Williams.

So who’s playing? Here are the four teams you’ll see play Friday night (one of which includes potential future lottery pick Scoot Henderson from the G League).
