Where to Watch: TNT
Yes, a lot of stars will not be healthy enough to play. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Zion Williamson will not take the floor. A bummer, but great talent will take their place.
De’Aaron Fox will take part in his first all-star game as will Anthony Edwards. For those without League Pass and who don’t reside in either of their metropolitan areas, trust me, they are going to put on a show on Sunday.
The NBA has made many unnecessary changes to this game. While those changes have brought benefits, they haven’t revolutionized NBA All-Star Weekend. Whether the Sunday game is east vs. west or the top vote-getters selecting teammates like they’re in a schoolyard, the pick-up game feel remains.
And that’s what makes this weekend the best all-star weekend on the sports calendar. It’s a time when fans get to see the best in a sport perform to the best of their capability outside of their contractual obligations to a team.
