Silver: NBA looking at ‘other formats’ for 2025 ASG

NBA commissioner Adam Silver wants to make changes to the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.

The league is currently exploring “other formats” and has formed a committee to come up with new ideas that make the event more exciting, Silver said Saturday at his press conference for the NBA Global Games in Mexico City, according to NBA Insider Rachel Nichols.

“We want to do something that will excite the fans and excite the players,” Silver said, per Nichols.

The Eastern Conference won last year’s event 211-186. It was the first time in the 73 years of the game that a squad scored more than 200 points. The 397 total points was also an All-Star Game record.

“I think there’s no doubt that the players were disappointed as well in last year’s All-Star Game. We want to do a better job providing competition and entertainment for our fans,” Silver said, per The Associated Press’ Tim Reynolds.

Silver has tinkered with the All-Star Game before. The league instituted the Elam Ending – using a target score instead of a game clock – from 2020 to 2023, attempted to have an All-Star draft instead of the traditional East-versus-West format, and has tried to have several different special events during the weekend.

In 2024, the league put on a shooting contest between Stephen Curry and WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu.

Silver previously mentioned scrapping the East-versus-West format in favor of a game between Team World and Team USA, which he believes would create a competitive atmosphere. The last six MVP trophies were awarded to foreign-born players. All-Star Weekend previously had a rookie game between US and foreign-born players.

The 2025 All-Star Game will be held in San Francisco on Feb. 16.
