The future of basketball will take center stage in Houston this week.
On Tuesday, April 2, the top high school prospects in the nation will take the floor at the 2024 McDonald's All-American Games. The event is back in Houston for a second consecutive year and will take place at the Toyota Center, home of the NBA's Houston Rockets.
As in years past, the McDonald's All-American Games will feature the stars that will take the college basketball world by storm during their freshman seasons. Headlining this year's game is Cooper Flagg, the consensus No. 1 overall recruit who is set to take his talents to Duke University in a few months.
Flagg is one of two Duke commits set to play in this year's game as Blue Devils fans can use the exhibition as an early preview of how he'll look alongside Isaiah Evans next season. Among other schools with multiple commitments in this year's game are Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina and Rutgers.
Trent Perry is the lone uncommitted player in this year's game. Perry is decommitting from USC after head coach Andy Enfield accepted the job at SMU.
Take a look at the full list of players set to play in the 2024 McDonald's All-American Boys Game and where they are set to play basketball in the 2024-25 college season.
