Two Russian student leagues will take part in the first-ever VTB United League All-Star Game.
The Association of Student Basketball (ASB) and the International Student Basketball League will select a 12-man all-star team to face the VTB United Youth League all-stars in Sochi.
The Rising Stars Game will be held February 11 prior to the evening’s feature game. This will be the first time Russia’s two student leagues have participated in the same event. Previous all-star games were always organized separately.
The 2016 Rising Stars Game was held in February 2016 at the USH CSKA in Moscow and featured the top players in the ASB and VTB United Youth League.
