Victor Wembanyama is set to return to the All-Star weekend as he has been selected for the Rising Stars event for the second consecutive year. This event will take place on February 14 in San Francisco, marking the beginning of the All-Star festivities.

The Rising Stars tournament consists of four teams, each with seven players, competing in knockout semi-finals where the first team to score 40 points progresses to the championship match, which is won by the first team to reach 25 points.

Wembanyama is among eleven second-year players participating and is also a strong contender for a reserve spot in the All-Star Game scheduled for February 16, with the names of those players to be announced shortly.
