Staples Center will host the NBA All-Star game in 2018, an announcement to be made publicly Tuesday before the Lakers play the Memphis Grizzlies at Staples.
The arena, which opened in 1999, also staged the All-Star game in 2011 and 2004.
The league chose, atypically, to stage the two most recent All-Star games in cold-weather cities, last month in Toronto and last year in New York.
The game is scheduled to be in Charlotte next year, another potentially chilly environment, though probably not as frigid as fans, players and media experienced in 2015 and 2016.
