Miami is getting ready to roll out the red carpet for some of basketball’s biggest stars!

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA is finalizing plans to bring the 2028 NBA All-Star Weekend to Miami, marking the first time the Magic City has hosted the event in nearly four decades!

The Miami Heat last hosted All-Star Weekend back in 1990, so this would be a pretty big deal for South Florida basketball fans.

The three-day celebration features some of the NBA’s most exciting events, including the Rising Stars showcase on Friday, the 3-point contest and slam dunk contest on Saturday, and the highly anticipated All-Star Game on Sunday.

The All-Star Game has also introduced a USA-versus-World format, putting America’s top players against international superstars.

While the NBA hasn’t officially announced Miami as the 2028 host just yet, it looks like South Florida could be preparing for one seriously star-studded weekend!
