Looks like Bostonians will have to wait a little longer before the NBA All-Star Game comes to the TD Garden.
Despite voicing interest in bringing the weekend of mid-season festivities to the city in 2022, the Celtics ultimately chose not to file a host application to the league. That’s according to the Boston Herald‘s Steve Bulpett, who reported Boston was not among the teams to submit a bid for consideration.
Team president Rich Gotham told Bulpett the following in a text message:
“We looked closely at the bid package, did our diligence as to what would be required, and determined that we would not be able to put together a successful bid within the prescribed timeline of the NBA bid process.
