2023 NBA All-Star Weekend schedule of events

NBA All-Star Weekend 2023 is upon us. The Portland Trail Blazers will be represented by Damian Lillard when the best in the NBA gather in Salt Lake City. Lillard will participate in the three-point shootout on Saturday, also the All-Star game itself on Sunday.

The Blazers were scheduled to have more participants, but guard Anfernee Simons sprained his ankle in Portland’s final game before the All-Star break and has been replaced in the three-point shootout by New York Knicks forward Julius Randle. Guard Shaedon Sharpe was an early entrant into the Slam Dunk competition, but later bowed out to, as he put it, concentrate on the remainder of the season.

Here is the complete list of events on All-Star Weekend and where they’ll be broadcast.
