NBA Confirms that the All-Star Game Will Feature a U.S. vs. the World Format This Season
- On Nov. 11, the NBA announced a three-team U.S. vs. World All-Star format set for Sunday, Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. ET at Intuit Dome, airing on NBC.
- Critics note the All-Star Game has drawn ample criticism in recent years, and the 2024 game in Indianapolis with a 211-186 score was a tipping point that pushed league decision makers to overhaul the event.
- Rosters will consist of 24 All-Stars forming two eight-man U.S. teams and one eight-man World team, with starters chosen by fans, and Commissioner Adam Silver adding players to meet minimums.
- The event will use a round-robin format in the first three quarters, with the top two teams advancing to the championship game in the fourth quarter; point differential breaks 1-1 ties.
- Given the league's player makeup, the NBA and NBC hope integrating All-Star Weekend into Milan Cortina Winter Olympics coverage will boost interest, while Adam Silver may add players due to the two-thirds American, one-third international split.
