The stars are set to shine in South Beach in a couple of years.
The NBA is finalizing Miami’s Kaseya Center as the host of the 2028 NBA All-Star Weekend, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday.
Miami hasn’t played host to the exhibition game since 1990, and will do so for only the second time since the Heat joined the NBA for the 1988-89 season.
This year’s festivities are set to take place at the Mortgage Matchup Center, the Phoenix Suns’ home court. It will be the fourth time Phoenix gets the all-star game, and the first since 2009.
The NBA changed the all-star game format last year, turning it into a three-team round-robin tournament featuring two teams of players from the United States and one with international stars.
No announcements have been made regarding potential alterations to the format for the 2027 or 2028 editions of the event.
