Day 2 of the 2020 All-Star Weekend will have household names, but it is the event’s most exciting showcase because it’s where stardom begins and less-heralded players generate some well-deserved buzz.
The 2020 Rising Stars Challenge between Team USA and Team World is once again loaded with promising young talent.

Portland Trail Blazers star guard Damian Lillard will be missing the 2020 All-Star Weekend, where he was slated to participate twice – the Three-Point Contest and the All-Star Game between Team LeBron vs. Team Giannis.

The Memphis Grizzlies may have a franchise piece in electric rookie Ja Morant.
