The 2023 NBA All-Star Game is set to take place Feb. 19, 2023, at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. This season’s game marks the 30th anniversary of the first NBA All-Star Game hosted by the Utah Jazz in 1993.
NBA All-Star Weekend will tip off Friday, Feb. 17, with the celebrity game and Rising Stars Challenge. NBA All-Star Saturday will feature the skills challenge, 3-point contest and slam dunk contest. This year will also feature the NBA HBCU Classic with a game between Grambling State and Southern on Feb. 18.
NBA All-Star voting will begin later this season, and All-Star rosters will be announced in January and February. This will be the sixth consecutive season in which the All-Star Game uses a “draft” format, in which each conference’s top vote-getter will serve as captain and draft a roster from the remaining 22 players.
This year’s All-Star Game will also be the fourth to use the target score — the score of the leading team after the third quarter, plus 24 points — and the fourth quarter will be played without a game clock.
All-Star rosters will be announced later this season.
Five starters from each conference will be chosen by a mix of player, fan and media voting. The seven reserves will be chosen by a vote of each conference’s coaches. Once the player pool has been set, the player from each conference with the most fan votes will serve as a captain and select his team in a draft held the week before the All-Star Game.
