NBA Opens All-Star Voting Despite Uncertainty of All-Star Weekend
The 2021 NBA All-Star Game may not be played due to virus concerns, but that won’t stop the honors from happening. The league announced that all-star voting will open today (Noon ET) and continue through Feb. 16. The NBA’s typical schedule for All-Star Weekend falls in early February after teams have played roughly 50 games of the 82-game season. This year’s selection process feels a little bit flawed considering no team has played more than 20 games. The NBA also announced that plans for this year’s All-Star Weekend are “ongoing.”
