The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend festivities will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah, from February 17 to 19; as always the weekend will feature multiple events, like the Rising Stars exhibition and dunk contest, before ending with the All-Star Game on Sunday night.
TNT will air the All-Star game at 8:30 p.m. ET on February 19, and will broadcast most of the weekend's events. ESPN will air a celebrity game on February 17, and NBA TV will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the practices leading up to the all-star events.
While the All-Star players have already been announced, the teams won't be determined until right before the game, when they're drafted by the team captains. LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will each captain a team, since they earned the most fan votes before the game
