NBA considering tournament-style format for 2025 All-Star Game: Sources

New York Times  

The NBA is strongly considering changing its 2025 All-Star Game to a tournament style format that would pit groups of All-Stars against one another, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Friday. Adam Silver told The Athletic earlier this month that the NBA was considering changing its All-Star Game format again and that he had talked to Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry about how to revitalize the event. “It’s a home game for him,” Silver said before the NBA Global Games series matchup between the Washington Wizards and Miami Heat in Mexico City. “We all want to do a better job providing competition and entertainment for our fans.” The changes would be the league’s latest attempt to rejuvenate the All-Star Game, which has fallen flat over the last few seasons because of a lack of defense and intensity that has led to high scoring but lackluster games.
