NBA Rising Star Invitational 2025

Has anyone heard much about this tournament? Looks like a new feature on the calendar, to add to the already busy schedule for these young athletes.
I cant seem to find any information online about the Australian teams or players, though I heard recently that Fagan was among the girls players to be heading to Singapore.
Not sure if that would be even possible given she's probably a shoe in for the Gems team and those dates would clash.

From Australia, invited are two teams that won last year's U17 Championship in Gold Coast: Berwick College boys and Flinders College girls.
It's still not confirmed if Fagan can go, due to her commitments to Gems.

For more updates, follow the 'NBA Rising Star Invitational' on Instagram.

A media release from BA today, no Fagan in the team list. Though not a surprise now the Gems and Sapphire's squads have been announced.

It'll be interesting to see if this event is a one off or reciprocating yearly. Could be another pathway opportunity for a limited few, or maybe an exercise to encourage more schools to enter the National College champs?
