Live coverage from Friday at NBA All-Star Weekend

The NBA's top players will be in Los Angeles for All-Star Weekend 2018. But before 24 of the league's best take the court on Sunday, the celebrity game (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) and Rising Stars Challenge will take center stage on Friday evening.

Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady, Jamie Foxx and Nick Cannon, among others, will tip off the weekend by showing off their skills at Verizon Up Arena in the celebrity game. 2011 MVP Justin Bieber will suit up for Team Lakers and returns to the event for the first time in seven years.

Later in the evening, Team World, led by Philadelphia 76ers duo Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, will face off against Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and Team USA at Staples Center.
