The NBA All-Star Game is a highlight in the US sporting calendar and now that British fans are accustomed to late nights thanks to the Super Bowl, many will feel they have what it takes to brave the late night for this one.

Salt Lake City will host the biggest names in basketball as team captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo battle once again for supremacy with their top-tier line-ups.

In a fresh twist for 2023, teams will not be announced – or even selected – until game day. More about that further down this page!

This game is likely to be a particularly special one due to LeBron smashing the all-time points scoring record in NBA history. He passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387 career points to his name earlier in February.
