The fun started Friday in San Francisco and will conclude Sunday with the All-Star Game tournament
The NBA’s 2025 All-Star Weekend has arrived, with San Francisco and the Golden State Warriors hosting the three-day event through Sunday night. This is the first time the annual showcase has been in the Bay Area since 2000, and some major changes are in store.
Most notably, the NBA has completely revamped the format of the All-Star Game. This year, the All-Stars were drafted into three teams of eight players each by Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. Team Chris Mullin, which won the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday, will join the three other All-Star teams on Sunday night to play a mini single-elimination tournament.
Kenny’s Young Stars will face Chuck’s Global Stars in the semifinals, while Shaq’s OGs will face Candace’s Rising Stars (aka Team Mullin). The winners will then meet in the championship for the right to be named 2025 NBA All-Star champions. In each game, the teams will play to 40 points, and the first side to reach that mark wins.
Saturday’s action includes the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Shootout and Slam Dunk Contest.
Furthermore, the league announced on Thursday that Warriors legend Steph Curry and New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu will not reprise their one-on-one 3-point shootout this year because they “weren’t able to land on a plan we thought would raise the bar off of last year’s special moment.”
