NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced a new All-Star format featuring a USA vs. the World matchup for next season, aiming to revive interest after the disappointing February tournament. This change, inspired by the NHL’s successful Four Nations Face-Off, will debut on NBC amidst the Winter Olympics, with Silver hoping to enhance competitiveness by having players represent their countries. The format will likely consist of one team of U.S. All-Stars and another of international All-Stars, though specifics are still being determined.
