NBA All-Star 2021 in Indianapolis postponed to 2024

The Indiana Pacers and the NBA have announced that NBA All-Star in Indianapolis, will now be held February 16-18, 2024 which was originally scheduled for February 12-14, 2021. An NBA release stated public health conditions prevented the Pacers, the NBA All-Star Host Committee, and the NBA from appropriately planning and executing fan-focused All-Star activities in Indianapolis that were envisioned for this February.

The NBA All-Star Game 2024 will take place at the home of the Pacers Bankers Life Fieldhouse on February 18, 2024. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said while we are disappointed that the NBA All-Star Game will not take place in Indianapolis in 2021, we are looking forward to the Pacers and the city hosting the game and surrounding events in 2024.

I want to thank Herb Simon, Steve Simon, Rick Fuson, and the entire Pacers organization as well as the NBA All-Star 2021 Host Committee and the community of Indianapolis for working with us to reschedule our All-Star activities. NBA All-Star 2024 in Indianapolis will follow Cleveland in 2022 and Salt Lake City in 2023 as All-Star host. The 2024 game will mark the second NBA All-Star in Indianapolis, which hosted the midseason classic in 1985.

“The efforts of so many Hoosiers to prepare for NBA All-Star 2021 put us ahead of the game for the hard work to come, and we are so grateful to the NBA for once again recognising Indianapolis as a city that delivers world-class events,” he added.
