The Phoenix Suns face the Dallas Mavericks in a regular season game on Friday, Nov. 8, 2024 (11/8/24) at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

The NBA is considering changing the format for the All-Star Game that will be played in San Francisco later this season, Commissioner Adam Silver said Saturday night.
The league has tinkered with the All-Star formula several times in recent years. Among the attempts were scrapping the longstanding East vs. West format for a draft picked by team captains and going to an untimed fourth quarter with a target score to ensure that the game must end on a made shot. Silver said with the game — scheduled for Feb. 16 — in San Francisco, he’s enlisted Golden State star Stephen Curry to help figure out a way to make the All-Star Game more competitive this season. Any changes would almost certainly have to involve the leadership of the National Basketball Players Association as well.
“I think everyone was disappointed in what they saw last year,” Silver said. “It wasn’t just the league. It was the players as well, the players association. I think we all did what we thought we could, thinking particularly in Indiana, sort of the heartland of basketball, we would see a more competitive game.”
He has said that after the new collective bargaining agreement and new media rights deals were wrapped up, expansion would be the next big project to tackle. That’s still the case, but nothing is imminent.
