The Charlotte Hornets unveiled a refurbished basketball court in Charlotte early Tuesday, and NBA commissioner Adam Silver was in attendance. Silver was asked after the event for his thoughts on the league taking the 2017 NBA All-Star Game from Charlotte.
Well, bringing the 2019 NBA All-Star Game to Charlotte is a “high priority”, according to the commissioner.
"We were in an unfortunate position that we were moving the game," Silver said Tuesday following a ceremony in Charlotte in which Hornets owner Michael Jordan unveiled the first of three refurbished neighborhood basketball courts.
