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 via the Rising Stars event on Friday, Feb. 18. The rookies and sophomores were chosen by current NBA assistant coaches, with each of the league’s 30 teams submitting one ballot per staff.
Twelve rookies, 12 sophomores, and four G League Ignite players were selected. The new Rising Stars format splits players into four seven-man teams, with each competing in a three-game mini-tournament.
