The NBA could be on the verge of swapping the All-Star game’s current format of a player draft back to a matchup between the Eastern and Western conferences, according to The Athletic’s Mike Vorkunov and Shams Charania.
The news comes after the NBA and the NBPA agreed to discuss the idea of making the annual exhibition game more competitive in recent months as part of the league’s new collective bargaining agreement, per the Athletic. The East vs. West structure is just one of the concepts being discussed, Vorkunov and Charania report.
Changes to the game could come ahead of the 2024 All-Star game in Indianapolis.
