When is the NBA All-Star Game in 2023? Date, time & more for Salt Lake City, Utah festivities
By Ian Levy
NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City will provide all the usual shenanigans of the biggest party on the basketball calendar. Here’s what you need to know to watch.
NBA All-Star Weekend hits Salt Lake City, Utah in the middle of February and the basketball hijinx should be phenomenal — 24 of the best players in the world, not to mention the dunk contest, 3-point contest, skills challenge and more.
The only new wrinkle to this year’s structure is a phenomenal one. The All-Star Draft, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James serving as captains, will take place immediately before the game, rather than a week or two before as it has in the past. That should add some extra intensity and drama to a game that’s already loaded with it.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch every event across the entire weekend.
