NBA All-Star Weekend is a celebration of the league’s talent.

Indiana Pacers devotees even got to see their guy Domantas Sabonis take part in a few events.
For the nearly 400 players that don’t get an invite of some kind, it’s a well-needed break in the middle of a tiring season. Three months and some 50 games into the season, most rookies have started hitting the wall, veterans are feeling the grind, and coaches emerge on the hot seat.
