Rosters set for 2025 NBA Rising Stars Challenge
By SAM LANCE
The 2025 NBA Rising Stars draft took place on Tuesday, which means the rosters are now officially set for the event, which will take place on Feb. 14 in San Francisco.
Former “Run TMC” teammates Tim Hardaway Sr., Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond of the Golden State Warriors are the coaches for the event and selected their rosters. Here’s how it shook out:
Team Hardaway:
- Cason Wallace
- Jaime Jaquez Jr.
- Gradey Dick
- Anthony Black
- Zaccharie Risacher
- Alex Sarr
- Tristan da Silva
Team Richmond:
- Amen Thompson
- Ausar Thompson
- Bilal Coulibaly
- Scoot Henderson
- Toumani Camara
- Yves Missi
- Bub Carrington
Team Mullin:
- Stephon Castle
- Dalton Knecht
- Jaylen Wells
- Keyonte George
- Zach Edey
- Trayce Jackson-Davis
- Ryan Dunn
Richmond took Amen Thompson with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Cason Wallace went No. 2 overall to Hardaway and Mullin selected Stephon Castle with his first pick.
There is also a G League team coached by Jeremy Lin. That squad will feature JD Davidson, Mac McClung, Bryce McGowens, Leonard Miller, Dink Pate, Reed Sheppard and Pat Spencer.
Teams will compete in a mini-tournament, with two semifinal games where the first team to 40 points wins. The winners meet in a championship game, where the first to 25 points claims the title. The Rising Stars tournament champion will advance to the bracket on Sunday, Feb. 16, for a shot at upsetting an NBA All-Star squad.
