Following another lackluster All-Star game in 2024, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is collaborating with Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry to implement a new format for this year’s All-Star game in San Francisco.

“We’re looking at different formats for this year’s All-Star Game,” Silver said on Saturday, according to The Athletic’s Joe Vardon. “We’ve had direct conversations with Steph Curry — it’s a home game for him… I know he’s very prideful and wants to make sure that the players put their best foot forward, so we’re looking at other formats.”

Silver did not specify the details of the plans but mentioned that chief executives are exploring new ways to enhance player engagement with the All-Star game. He stated, “(We want to) do something that will excite the fans and also excite the players, so it’s something they’re enthusiastic about participating in.”

The All-Star game has a history of minimal defensive efforts, but last year broke the record for the number of points scored, leading to the need to implement a change.

Following the excitement generated by Curry and WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu’s three-point shootout during the last All-Star game, Silver is closely consulting with Curry on the best strategies to attract more attention to the event.

This could potentially include a rematch between the two three-point shooting stars.

“I think showcasing those kinds of activities where you see men and women both competing in basketball at All-Star events should increasingly become a big part of it,” Silver continued. “And incidentally when you look at the interest in terms of viewership last year, one of the highlights was that Sabrina-Steph shootout, so we do want to do more of that.”

The game is scheduled for Feb. 16 at Chase Center and will mark the first All-Star game held in San Francisco, as well as the first hosted by the Golden State Warriors since 2000.
