On Tuesday, Feb. 1, the Rising Stars for NBA All-Star Weekend 2022 will be revealed.
Last week, the NBA announced that there will be a new Rising Stars format this season. The NBA’s assistant coaches will select a total of 28 Rising Stars, composed of 12 NBA rookies and 12 NBA sophomores, plus four players from the G League’s Ignite that will be chosen by G League head coaches. Those players will be separated into four seven-player teams and will compete in a three-game, single-elimination mini-tournament.
Here’s the bracket for the tournament, which will take place on Friday, Feb. 18 (9:00 p.m. ET on TNT) at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland:

Each game will be played to a final target score. However, whereas Games 1 and 2 will be played to 50 points, Game 3 will be played to 25 points.
Members of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team and assistant coaches for the 2022 NBA All-Star Game will make up the coaching staff for each Rising Stars team. Coaches will select their rosters in a draft, and each team will feature one player from the G League’s Ignite.
