New York (AFP) – Top NBA Draft pick Victor Wembanyama and 2023 NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero are among the players named Tuesday to compete in next month’s NBA Rising Stars tournament.

The event, featuring four seven-player teams, will be staged on February 16, two days before the NBA All-Star Game at Indianapolis.

French 7-foot-4 (2.24m) center Wembanyama, averaging 20.6 points and 10.1 rebounds a game this season for the San Antonio Spurs, is among 11 rookies who were selected by NBA assistant coaches.

They will join 10 second-year NBA players, Orlando star Banchero among them, in a talent pool from which three teams will be picked in a draft next Tuesday.
