Stephon Castle led Team C (Chris Mullin) to a 25-14 victory over Team G League in the championship game of the 2025 NBA Castrol Rising Stars title game Friday night at the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend at Chase Center in San Francisco.
The San Antonio Spurs rookie scored 12 points in the final game to deliver Team C the victory. He was awarded the MVP of the Rising Stars game afterwards.
Utah Jazz sophomore Keyonte George delivered the game-winning basket with a running 27-foot three to seal the win.
With this victory, Castle and Team C will now go on to compete in the biggest stage on Sunday at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. This year, the league has introduced a new format where the champion of the rising stars game will compete against one of the three teams of the all-stars.
Team C will do battle against Team Shaq’s OG’s team with notable names such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant on All-Star Sunday night still at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
