The 2019 NBA All-Star Game is just weeks away, and we’ve got you covered from roster unveils all the way to the final bucket. Here’s everything you need to know for All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina:
Captains, starters unveiled
The captains and starters are set for the 2019 All-Star Game. How will LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo make their selections for the (now televised!) playground-style draft?
The 10 starters were selected via a vote combination: 50 percent from fans, 25 percent from players and 25 percent from basketball media. The two starters with the most fan votes in each conference — James from the West and Antetokounmpo from the East — were named captains.
On draft night (Feb. 7, TNT) they will first pick from the pool of starters before moving on to the 14 reserves, all regardless of conference affiliation.
Reserves will be selected by NBA head coaches and announced Jan. 31.
