The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game will take place on Friday one day ahead of the much awaited NBA All-Star game. The NBA All-Star Weekend has experienced numerous changes throughout its history. Some of them have been favorable while others have been less so.
Mark your calendars for Friday the 16th, as this year's star-studded game promises to be an exciting event, featuring actors, musicians, athletes from other sports, and former NBA players. The rosters for this year feature notable figures from the NFL and IndyCar Series, including Micah Parsons, CJ Stroud, and Conor Daly, among other talented individuals.
Typically, the celebrity game takes place at a separate location from the All-Star Game, as is customary. Every year, the NBA Jam Sessions practice court is the venue for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and skills challenges. For this year's event, the organizers have selected Lucas Oil Stadium as the venue, which is the home of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.
The highly anticipated matchup between Team Shannon and Team Stephen A. is set to tip off at 7 p.m. ET. The highly anticipated match will be aired on ESPN, allowing viewers to watch it on television or stream it live through the ESPN app.
Cassidy Hubbarth has been selected to host the broadcast and will also be responsible for presenting the MVP trophy. The play-by-play commentary will be provided by Ryan Ruocco, with Richard Jefferson and Monica McNutt serving as the analysts. Pat McAfee has been invited to join as the guest analyst.
