NBA reportedly discussing tournament-style All-Star Game

The pursuit to improve the NBA All-Star game appears never-ending.

According to ESPN, the NBA is “in serious discussions” regarding a tournament-style format for February’s NBA All-Star Game, which is slated to take place in San Francisco, home of the Warriors.

The format, according to the report, indicates that the tournament would consist of three All-Star teams of eight players each, making up all 24 named NBA All-Stars — as well as the winner of the Rising Stars game being team No. 4.

NBA officials discussed the new format as recent as Friday with the league’s Compeтιтion Committee, led by team governors, players, coaches, executives, and union personnel, sources told ESPN.
