(Associated Press) – The NBA is considering going to a tournament-style event for the All-Star Game, similar to what has been used in the Rising Stars competition in recent years.
That’s according to two people with knowledge of the plan.
They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because because no changes have been finalized.
The idea centers around the 24 All-Star selections being split into three teams of eight players, with the fourth team likely to be the winner of the Rising Stars competition that will be held earlier that weekend.
This season’s All-Star weekend will be held in San Francisco in February.
