Everything you need to know about the 2023 NBA All-Star Game

The 2023 NBA All-Star Game is set to take place Feb. 19 at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. This season’s game marks the 30th anniversary of the first NBA All-Star Game hosted by the Utah Jazz in 1993.

NBA All-Star Weekend will tip off Friday, Feb. 17, with the celebrity game and Rising Stars Challenge. NBA All-Star Saturday will feature the skills challenge, 3-point contest and slam dunk contest. This year will also feature the NBA HBCU Classic with a game between Grambling State and Southern on Feb. 18.

NBA All-Star starters were announced Jan. 26 on TNT, the reserves will be announced on Feb. 2. This will be the sixth consecutive season in which the All-Star Game uses a “draft” format, in which each conference’s top vote-getter will serve as captain and draft a roster from the remaining 22 players.

This will be the first year, however, in which said draft will be just moments before the start of the game as a live segment on TNT.

This year’s All-Star Game will be the fourth to use the target score — the score of the leading team after the third quarter, plus 24 points — and the fourth quarter will be played without a game clock.
