NBA All-Star Game format changes up again for L.A. in 2026
Kevin Durant, #35 of Team Shaq, and Karl-Anthony Towns, #32 of Team Chuck, go up for the opening tip-off during the 74th NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 16, 2025, at Chase Center in San Francisco.The NBA’s quest to “create an All-Star experience that we can be proud of and our players can be proud of” continues in earnest and with a new partner.
NBC joins the effort to inject life into what has become a moribund endeavor. Under the NBA’s new broadcast deal, the network will air the Feb. 15 game that will be hosted by the Clippers at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
