Rising Stars updates: How Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, and Jae’Sean Tate fared

Second-year forward Jae’Sean Tate and rookies Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun are representing 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.

The new Rising Stars format split 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.

The Rockets joined Detroit (Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart) and Orlando (Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Cole Anthony) as the only NBA teams to with three representatives in the contest.

Scroll on for highlights, interviews, and real-time reaction related to the performances of all three Houston players on Friday night.
