When the NBA 2020-21 season started, the league was not going to hold an All-Star game. However, earlier this year, there were rumours about the game being held in Atlanta. Soon, the league announced and confirmed the game. While the usual weekend is an elaborate event, the league – keeping in mind the various health and safety concerns – will conduct the game without fans and in one day. 

With LeBron James and Kevin Durant as captains, the roster was chosen a few days ago. Fans are excited for Steph Curry being back at the All-Star Game, teaming up with James for the first time.
