Two Rockets Competing in Rising Stars Challenge

Some members of the Houston Rockets are participating in tonight's Rising Stars Challenge.

The 12 best rookies and 12 best sophomores were invited to compete in a four-team mini-tournament to kick off All-Star Weekend.

Each team will play a game to 50 points in the semifinals, where each winner will advance to the championship. This year, the stakes are higher as the team that wins the Rising Stars Challenge will be invited to compete in the All-Star Game as the fourth team in a similar format.

This raises the stakes for both the Rising Stars Challenge and the All-Star Game, so it will be interesting to see how things shake out.
