The 72nd edition of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend festivities is heading west for the first time since 2018.
Salt Lake City, Utah will be the host city in the 2022-23 season as 24 of the NBA’s best players will face each other in the traditional Sunday showcase game.
As usual, the players for each squad will be selected by a combination of fans, players and media voting, while coaches will make the decision on the reserves for the game.
The 2022 All-Star Weekend was held in Cleveland at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Team LeBron won for the fifth consecutive season, defeating Team Durant by a final score of 163-160. The Warriors’ Stephen Curry was named the game’s MVP with 50 points on 16-for-27 shooting from 3-point range.
