Adam Silver Drops Bombshell: No Plans to Move All-Star Game Amid Kawhi Leonard Investigation—What’s Really Going On?
This shouldn’t be a surprise. The NBA’s All-Star Game is a massive production and undertaking that goes well beyond just the on-court games and showcases. Players and league sponsors plan events and parties, hotels and venues are booked, and fans plan trips to the host city around the All-Star events. To rip that up and move a game less than five months out would be an impossible task. The NBA did move the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte in reaction to the “bathroom law” in North Carolina; however, it made that move in the previous summer (the league returned to Charlotte with the game two years later, in 2019).
