The NBA All-Star Weekend festivities February 16-18 are going old-school.
The celebration takes place in Indianapolis for the first time since 1985 and the All-Star Game returns to the classic East vs. West format with four 12-minute quarters and standard scoring.
The celebration begins Friday with the Ruffles Celebrity Game (7/6c, ESPN) at Lucas Oil Stadium and the top young players in the Panini Rising Stars game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (9/8c, TNT).
State Farm All-Star Saturday Night (TNT, 8/7c) at Lucas Oil Stadium has the Kia Skills Challenge, the Starry 3-Point Contest and the fan-favorite AT&T Slam Dunk. This year also features Stephen Curry vs. WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu in a head-to-head 3-Point Challenge.
On Sunday, the 73rd NBA All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (8/7c, TNT/TBS) showcases the league’s best in a display of scoring prowess against a remarkably lax defense. Last year, Team Giannis defeated Team LeBron by an insane score of 184-175.
