NBA Rising Stars Challenge 2017: Rosters, date, time, how to watch online, live stream
The BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge, known in some circles as the rookie-sophomore game, is a showcase of the league's best young talent. First- and second-year players will be on display in full force, and the game is usually not lacking in spectacular highlights.
This year's game will be led by 2015-16 NBA Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns and the frontrunner for this year's award, Joel Embiid .
The showcase game has gone through several iterations over the years, including an all-rookie version and a rookies-versus-sophomores format. This year's game will follow the USA vs. World format that was introduced in 2015.
