The 2017 NBA All-Star Game could make a surprise appearance in New Orleans. All-Star Weekend is currently scheduled to take place in Charlotte, NC from February 17th-19th with the game itself taking place on Sunday the 19th. However, thanks to the grossly unpopular House Bill 2 (HB2) in North Carolina the NBA is on the brink of pulling the game according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
