NBA Picks Miami for 2028 All-Star Weekend, AP Source Says

League officials are preparing a formal announcement as Miami would host the event for the first time since 1990.

  • The NBA plans to host the 2028 All-Star Weekend in Miami, with sources telling ESPN's Shams Charania that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will announce the decision on November 30.
  • Previous bids failed because the Miami International Boat Show occupied key venues during President's Weekend, but league scheduling changes finally created an opening for the city to host.
  • While Kaseya Center will host the All-Star Game, events will span multiple South Florida venues including the Watsco Center, with an official logo already approved and logistical planning well underway.
  • The event will likely not be publicly ticketed due to sponsor requirements; if Philadelphia 76ers forward LeBron James returns for a 25th season in 2027-28, this could be his final All-Star appearance.
  • Miami last hosted in 1990 at the now-demolished Miami Arena, where the Eastern Conference defeated the Western Conference 130-113 in front of 14,810 fans, featuring legends Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.
