The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets have rosters dominated by youth, and those young players will be on display during All-Star weekend in New Orleans next month.
First, the young players will face off Thursday in the first of back-to-back games between the Suns and Nuggets.
Phoenix second-year guard Devin Booker and rookie forward Marquese Chriss were named to the Rising Stars Challenge, which features sophomore and rookie players in the NBA. They're going to be joined by a trio of Denver players -- guards Emmanuel Mudiay and Jamal Murray as well as center Nikola Jokic.
The Suns travel to Denver on Thursday before hosting the Nuggets in Phoenix on Saturday night.
