NBA All-Star Weekend full schedule & how to watch
The suspense of the trade deadline has faded and the drama of the postseason race is yet to kick into full gear, which can only mean one thing: it's time for NBA All-Star Weekend.
Without Damian Lillard in Portland, there's no automatic bid for a Trail Blazers player anymore (although Lillard is defending the 3-point title he won as a member of the Blazers last year), but Scoot Henderson will be playing in the Rising Stars tournament, so at least there's something for Rip City fans to tune into.
When and how can you catch Scoot and the rest of the league's stars this weekend as they take part in the festivities in Indianapolis?
What's the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend schedule?
