Mizzou star Jayden Stone set to make an appearance at Final Four weekend

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Mizzou men's basketball will be represented at Final Four weekend in Indianapolis.

On Tuesday, Tiger star Jayden Stone was selected for the NABC-Reese's Division I All-Star Game, as well as the State Farm College Slam Dunk Championship. The honor comes after the guard made an instant impact in his one and only season in the black and gold.

Through the 2025-26 campaign, the graduate averaged 13.5 points per game, which ranked second on the team. He was also third on the squad with 5.1 rebounds per game, while contributing 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per outing, as well.

Tiger fans saw just how important Stone's presence was to this team, when he missed six games due to breaking his non-shooting hand. During the stretch of games that the Australia native missed, Mizzou saw plenty of struggles, including a 43-point loss to rival Illinois. However, once he returned to action in the Tigers' upset over Florida in January, the team started clicking.

Stone surpassed the 20-point threshold six times in his graduate campaign, as he ended up shooting at a 48.7 percent clip from the field and a 38.5 percent clip from beyond the arc.

The NABC All-Star game will feature the nation's top senior players and will be played on Friday at 2:30 p.m. CT at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. After that, Stone will show off his skills at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Sunday in the Slam Dunk Championship. That's set to start at 12:30 p.m. CT.
