Miami reportedly to host NBA All-Star game in 2028 for first time since 1990

The NBA All-Star game is returning to Miami.

Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA is finalizing Miami as the host city of the league’s 2028 All-Star Weekend.

Despite being a prime destination for a February party, this will mark just the second time that Miami has hosted the NBA’s All-Star weekend. The first and only other time was 1990, the second year of the Heat’s existence.

Magic Johnson won MVP in that game, while David Robinson, Reggie Miller, Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen all made the All-Star debuts.

Since Miami last hosted, 10 NBA cities have hosted multiple All-Star weekends: Los Angeles (4 times), New Orleans (3 times), Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Houston, New York, Orlando, Phoenix and Salt Lake City (2 times each). The Bay Area has also hosted twice since 1990 with games in Oakland and in San Francisco.

Phoenix will host again in February.

This story will be updated.
