Magic's Trio Soak In Experience of Rising Stars Event

2025 NBA All-Star Weekend tipped off Friday night with the annual Rising Stars competition.

Orlando Magic teammates Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva were together on Team T, which was led by Tim Hardaway Sr., while two-way guard Mac McClung featured on Team G League, led by Jeremy Lin.

Black started for Hardaway's squad, scoring four points and dishing four assists in his outing.

Da Silva scored five points off the bench, drilling both of his looks from the field. His one assist was an outlet pass to Black for a near-dunk in transition, but Black's shot attempt officially counted as a made layup.

"He almost smoked my full-court assist," da Silva quipped after. "But nah, it was great. Obviously always love playing with him, sharing the floor with him, so always a great time."

"Super fun," Black said of playing with da Silva. "Just getting out there with him is always cool."

Despite their efforts, Team T tell to the Chris Mullin-led Team C squad, 40-34.

"Fun experience, fun playing with and against those guys," Black said. "Just good to be around a lot of good players, interact with a lot of good coaches and basketball minds. Just appreciative that I was selected to come here."
