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?
All-star weekend kicks off on Friday, Feb. 16 this year, and runs through the all-star game itself on Sunday, Feb. 18.
Trail Blazers fans can catch Scoot on Friday night in the Panini Rising Stars tournament that starts at 9 p.m. ET on TNT. Henderson is part of Team Tamika coached by WNBA legend Tamika Catchings.
There are four teams in the mini-tournament which features the league's top rookies and sophomores. (Shaedon Sharpe was scheduled to participate before undergoing core muscle surgery).
