The NBA kicks off All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City tonight. And though the Spurs are near the bottom of the league standings, they will still have some representation at the annual festivities as Jeremy Sochan received a well-deserved invitation to the Jordan Rising Stars Game.

The rookie combo forward has been a beacon of hope for the rebuilding Spurs this season. He will become the tenth player in team history to suit up for this event, joining names like Keldon Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili in that honor.

For diehard Spurs fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Sochan on national television, here are all the details for the Jordan Rising Stars Game.

Format

The four teams will compete in a mini-tournament with two first-round games that go to a target score of 40 points rather than the traditional format of a regular-season contest that has a game clock and quarters. The winners of games one and two will then move on to face each other in a final matchup with a target score of 25 points to crown the champion of this event.
