Class of 2023 nominees, schedule and more

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will enshrine a new class of legends in Springfield, Massachusetts, next summer. The full list of nominees from the North American and women’s committees were unveiled in December. Finalists for enshrinement will be announced at February’s NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the full class will be announced as part of the NCAA men’s basketball Final Four weekend in Houston.

The Class of 2023 will be officially enshrined in the Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 12. The new summer date reflects an effort for enshrinement weekend to be more accessible to fans and guests — a change of date from recent celebrations that were held the week after Labor Day.

Enshrinement weekend will begin at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on Friday, Aug. 11, with the tip-off celebration and awards gala, inclusive of the Class of 2023 jacket and ring presentation and the annual Hall of Fame Awards. The enshrinement ceremony will take place the following day in Springfield’s historic Symphony Hall.
