Report: NBA, Players' Union in Talks to Hold All-Star Game in Early March

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are reportedly discussing scenarios to hold a 2021 All-Star game, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, with a possible host city being Atlanta.

All-Star Weekend was originally scheduled for Feb. 12-14, 2021 in Indianapolis but the event was postponed last November due to COVID-19 concerns. Indy will instead host the midseason event Feb. 16-18, 2024.

Since the postponement, the NBA and players' union are engaged in ongoing talks to hold an All-Star game on March 7, and NBPA president Chris Paul is reportedly supportive of the idea, per ESPN.
