TheRising Stars Challenge is abasketballexhibition game held by theNational Basketball Association (NBA) on the Friday before the annualAll-Star Game as part of theAll-Star Weekend and is intended to showcase young and rising players in the league (mainly rookies from the games inception in 1994, second-year players since 2000 andNBA G League players since 2022). Since 2025, the game and surrounding events are sponsored byCastrol and is known asCastrol Rising Stars, with the 2026 event occurring on Friday, February 13 atIntuit Dome.[1]
The current format used since2022 includes rookie and sophomore NBA players and NBA G League players selected by the NBA's assistant coaches and league office. Former NBA players, designated as "honorary coaches",draft players for their respective teams, where they play in a single-elimination tournament to reach a Final Target Score in each game.[2]
TheRookie Challenge, established in 1994[3], was originally competed by two randomly selected teams composed entirely of first-year players. This format was continued until 1996, when it was changed to pit rookie teams of both theEastern and theWestern Conference against each other. In1999, the game was cancelled as a result of the NBA lockout. Since the 1998 rookie class did not compete that year, the game was revamped in 2000 and featured a team of standout first-year players ('rookies') against a team of standout second-year players ('sophomores'). This format of Rookies vs Sophomores would continue past the 2000 game until the 2012.
The format of the game and name was changed to theRising Stars Challenge in 2012. For 2012 and 2013, the format was changed to having two teams drafted byBasketball Hall of FamersCharles Barkley (Team Chuck) andShaquille O'Neal (Team Shaq).[4] In 2014, the two teams were drafted byChris Webber (Team Webber) andGrant Hill (Team Hill). The game format changed in2015 to Team USA vs Team World, where each team should choose at least three Rookies and three Sophomores, and the squad of each team should have four back courts, four front courts and two swingmen.
Unlike regular NBA games, the game was divided into two twenty-minute halves plus multiple five-minute overtime periods, similar to men'scollege basketball. The participating players were chosen by voting among the league's assistant coaches. In the game, players wear their respective regular team uniforms, except for 2009, in which players wore fan-designed jerseys. The head coaches of the two teams are the lead assistant coaches of the NBA All-Star Game coach. Starting in 2009, two active NBA players were added to the game coaching staffs.
The format was then changed again in2022. 28 players are selected: 12 rookies, 12 sophomores, and 4NBA G League Ignite players. They will be drafted into four teams of seven, which are led and coached by members of theNBA 75th Anniversary Team via a draft, in commemoration of the NBA's75th anniversary season. The coaches include:Rick Barry,Gary Payton,Isiah Thomas andJames Worthy. The format itself is now a tournament, with a Final Target Score for each round: 50 points for the semifinals, and 25 points for the finals, for a total of 75 points total for the team that wins the tournament, another nod to the NBA's 75th anniversary.[2]
The format was slightly altered in2023. 28 players are still selected, but the pool now consists of 21 NBA rookies and sophomores, and 7 NBA G League players (not just limited to NBA G League Ignite). The Final Target Score for the semifinal games was lowered from 50 to 40. In 2023, the 21 NBA players were drafted into three teams led byPau Gasol,Joakim Noah, andDeron Williams, while the 7 NBA G League players form a single team led byJason Terry.[5] In 2024, the coaches werePau Gasol,Tamika Catchings,Jalen Rose, andDetlef Schrempf, with Schrempf coaching the G League team.[1] The format used in 2023 and 2024 will be used for the main NBA All-Star Game beginning in2025, with the winner of the Rising Stars Challenge additionally qualifying for the All-Star Game itself.[6] In 2025, with the event being held inSan Francisco, the NBA rookies and sophomores were coached by theRun TMC trio ofTim Hardaway,Mitch Richmond, andChris Mullin, with the teams named after their respective initials. The G League team was coached byJeremy Lin, who began his career with theGolden State Warriors.[7]
