The NBA seeks to revitalize the All-Star Game, which has experienced a decline in its competitiveness in recent seasons. Silver highlighted the success of last summer’s Olympic games, such as the match between the United States and Serbia, as inspiration.
Silver also mentioned that the league is paying attention to the format implemented by the NHL in its recent All-Star game, a tournament between four teams that included the United States, Finland, Sweden, and Canada.
The 2026 NBA All-Star Game will be held in Los Angeles on February 15, 2026.
