+*(Here's Way To Watch] NBA All-Star 2024 Live TV on Channel 18 February 2024
The 2024 NBA All-Star weekend will culminate with the much-awaited NBA All-Star game starring the best of the West and the East conferences.
After last year's Salt Laker City in 2023, the premier event will head to Indianapolis, where the two teams led by LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will look to go toe-to-toe against each other.
Like the past, the roster features a slew of newcomers who will be regular features in years to come. This season's All-Star weekend also features the return of the familiar All-Star game format.
According to the league's site, the All-Star Game will not have an untimed fourth quarter or conclude when one of the teams reaches a required target. Instead, they will continue to compete to win each quarter for a charitable organization they choose.
All of the NBA's 30 coaches selected the reserves for the game, while commissioner Adam Silver picked the replacement for any player unable to participate in the marquee weekend.
In related news, Trae Young and Scottie Barnes have been named as replacements for Joel Embiid and Julius Randle.
Ahead of the Sunday main event, the teams have already hit a practice session, and here's a quick primer about the game.

It's official -- Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu will face off at the NBA's All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis on Feb. 17. "Stephen vs. Sabrina," as the contest is being called, will be the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-point challenge, the league announced on Tuesday. It is set to take place between the NBA's 3-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest on All-Star Saturday Night. The events that night will begin at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
Over the past several months, the groundwork has been laid for the two shooting stars to face off in one final contest. Ionescu challenged Curry to a shooting contest on X, formerly known as Twitter, last July, and Curry indicated that he was up for the challenge.
"I gotta go after Sabrina's record," Curry said on ESPN at the time. "I've got something to shoot for now that she went crazy with the 37 points in their All-Star weekend. We've got to settle that for sure to see who's the best three-point competition shooter."
Well, the two shooters finally their wish.
The event will use standard 3-Point Contest rules, though Curry will use an NBA ball and NBA 3-point lines, while Ionescu will use a WNBA ball and WNBA 3-point lines. Each shot they make along the way will also raise money for "economic empowerment in the Black community." Each regular 3-pointer will be worth $1,000, each money ball $2,000 and each "STARRY Range Ball" -- a deep shot worth three points -- $3,000.
Who do you think owns the record for most points ever scored in a round at a professional 3-point contest? The obvious guess would be Curry, the Golden State Warriors legend and greatest shooter in NBA history. True, he's won the NBA's 3-point contest twice (2015 and 2021), but his best round ever pales in comparison to another.
The catch is that it didn't come in the NBA.
The all-time record for most points scored in a round at a 3-point contest belongs to New York Liberty guard Ionescu, who notched 37 points in July's WNBA 3-point contest.
The NBA's All-Star Weekend hasn't held quite the same appeal in recent years. The game is moving back to an East vs. West format after the experiment of having players draft their own teams failed. The dunk contest was losing interest as well before G-Leaguer Mac McClung won it last season.
Now, the NBA has another novel event to look forward to in Indianapolis. The NBA and WNBA's 3-point champions will face off for the ultimate shooting trophy.
INDIANAPOLIS — The NBA’s best and brightest have gathered together in the basketball-loving Hoosier state for the 73rd annual NBA All-Star Game.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.
When and what time is the 2024 NBA All-Star Game?
It takes place on Sunday, Feb. 18, with tip-off at 8 p.m. Eastern.
Where is this year’s NBA All-Star game?
The 2024 NBA All-Star Game takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana, at the Gainbridge Field House (home to the Indiana Pacers).
How can I watch NBA All-Star weekend?
The 2024 NBA All-Star Game will be broadcast on TNT and can be streamed on MAX.
What is the format for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game?
This year, after a few years of experimentation, sees a return to tradition with the All-Star Game.
It will be the East vs. West in four 12-minute quarters, total score wins. No captains drafting teams on the court, no target scores. This is your father’s All-Star Game, which is what the people want.
Who are the NBA All-Star starters?
Eastern Conference:
Tyrese Haliburton (Pacers)
Damian Lillard (Bucks)
Jayson Tatum (Celtics)
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Clippers)
Bam Adebayo (Heat)
Note: The 76ers Joel Embiid was voted in as a starter, however his recent knee surgery prevents him from playing. Adebayo was named a starter in his place.
Western Conference:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder)
Luka Doncic (Mavericks)
LeBron James (Lakers)
Nikola Jokic (Nuggets)
Kevin Durant (Suns)
Who are the NBA All-Star Game Coaches?
This year’s All-Star Game coaches are:
Western Conference: Chris Finch, Minnesota Timberwolves.
Eastern Conference: Doc Rivers, Milwaukee Bucks. Rivers has only coached the last 10 games for the Bucks (3-7), but before he arrived, now-fired coach Adrian Griffin and the Bucks amassed the second-best record in the East, and the team held that spot under Rivers through the cutoff date, so the Milwaukee coach got the job. That’s Rivers. However, Rivers said he was giving the money he gets for coaching the game, and the All-Star ring, to Griffin. (The Celtics had the best record in the East, however, Joe Mazzulla coached the All-Star team last year and NBA rules prevent a coach from doing consecutive years.)
Who has won the NBA Kobe Bryant All-Star Game MVP award?
The NBA All-Star Game MVP award is named after Kobe Bryant — a four-time winner of the award in 2002, 2007, 2009 and 2011 — just a couple of weeks after his tragic passing in 2020.
Here are the last 10 NBA All-Star Game MVPs:
2013: Chris Paul
2014: Kyrie Irving
2015: Russell Westbrook
2016: Russell Westbrook
2017: Anthony Davis
2018: LeBron James
2019: Kevin Durant
2020: Kawhi Leonard
2021: Giannis Antetokounmpo
2022: Steph Curry
2023: Jayson Tatum

Milwaukee Bucks leader Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the East into battle against a star-studded West team led by Los Angeles Lakers' superstar LeBron James.
