NBA All-Star Game 2018: Basketball's Best Head to LA

The Lakers may not be setting the world on fire, but that doesn’t mean LA basketball fans can’t have a reason to cheer.

The world’s best basketball players will head to the Staples Center for the 2018 NBA All-Star game, according to The Los Angeles Times.

The news is expected to be officially announced at tomorrow’s Lakers game. Both the Lakers and the Clippers are expected to share hosting duties, according to the Newspaper. The last time Los Angeles hosted the All-Star game was in 2011 when Kobe Bryant was the MVP.

Before the NBA can show off for fans, however, the NHL will hold its All-Star game at the Staples Center in 2017.
