Second-year forward Jae’Sean Tate and rookies Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun will represent the Houston Rockets at the NBA’s 2022 All-Star weekend. The rookies and sophomores in Friday’s official Rising Stars tournament in Cleveland were chosen by current NBA assistant coaches, with each of the league’s 30 teams submitting one ballot per staff.
Green, the No. 2 pick by the Rockets from the 2021 NBA draft, will also participate in Saturday’s All-Star slam dunk contest.
The new Rising Stars format splits players into four seven-man teams, with each competing in a three-game mini-tournament. Twelve rookies, 12 sophomores, and four G League Ignite players were selected.
