According to Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe, Wyv Grousbeck, Steven Pagliuca, and the Boston Celtics’ ownership group are preparing a bid to host the NBA All-Star Game. No action has been taken yet, but the group has reportedly begun taking the necessary steps in order to submit an application.
Boston has not hosted the All-Star Game since 1964. The Celtics played host at what was then the Boston Garden, marking their fourth time hosting the event, including the first two All-Star Games ever assembled. But since then, the spectacle has never returned to Beantown.
