Overview
- The 75th All-Star Weekend is underway Feb. 13–15 in Inglewood with a three-day slate spanning the Celebrity Game, Rising Stars, Saturday contests and Sunday’s new main event.
- Two U.S. teams (USA Stars and USA Stripes) and Team World play 12‑minute round‑robin games, with the top two advancing to a 12‑minute Championship; point differential breaks any three‑way tie.
- Notable absences include Stephen Curry, Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo due to injuries, with commissioner‑appointed replacements such as Alperen Şengün and Norman Powell; rookie Cooper Flagg also withdrew from Rising Stars.
- Global distribution is set: Peacock, NBC and Telemundo in the U.S.; ESPN and Disney+ in Latin America; Movistar+, DAZN and Amazon Prime Video in Spain.
- Integrity questions linger in the background after October’s illegal‑betting arrests that prompted NBA policy reviews and an open league probe into possible Clippers salary‑cap circumvention tied to Aspiration, which the team and Kawhi Leonard deny.
