The 2021 NBA All-Star game will not happen on its scheduled weekend in Indianapolis, according to WISH-TV. 

The league has canceled its hotel contracts for the 2021 All-Star game since the 2019-20 season isn't expected to end until October and the 2020-21 campaign may start in January of 2021.

With that said, Commissioner Adam Silver and Co. knew the 2021 All-Star game would be affected by the new calendar change in the league.

“Given the uncertainty surrounding the schedule for the 2020-21 NBA season, we and the Indiana Pacers informed our hotel partners in Indianapolis that NBA All-Star 2021 is unlikely to take place on Presidents’ Day weekend so they could make other arrangements. More information about next season’s schedule, including NBA All-Star, will be announced at a later date,” an NBA spokesperson person.
