According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Indiana Pacers will host the 2021 NBA All-Star game.
SWEEEET!!!!!!!
The team publicized a major announcement for Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, but as usual Woj scooped the news in advance. Regardless, the Pacers and Indianapolis targeting the event last year and made the official bid in New York back in April, complete with Larry Bird rolling up to the NBA offices in an Indy Car.
While the optics were surely great, no one does big events better than Indianapolis and the city’s track record hosting the Super Bowl, many Final Fours among other monster events surely made this an easy decision for the NBA.
