The NBA All-Star game is happening tonight, whether we like it or not. Things have already been rocked a bit with news breaking Sunday afternoon that Philadelphia 76er stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons would be forced to miss the game because of health and safety protocols. It seems their personal barber tested positive for COVID and now the players are being help out as part of contact tracing efforts. The players will not be replaced and Zion Williamson is reportedly entering the starting lineup in place of Embiid.
Coverage of All-Star day begins with pregame festivities on TNT at 5 p.
