Background
The announcement was made on January 16, 2024, at a press conference held by the Los Angeles Clippers at the then-under-construction Intuit Dome in Inglewood. In attendance at the announcement were NBA commissioner Adam Silver, Clippers Chairman Steve Ballmer, Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts Jr..[2]
During an interview on Fox Sports 1's Breakfast Ball on June 4, 2025, Silver revealed that the game will most likely be played in a format pitting U.S. players against international players. He cited the concurrent 2026 Winter Olympics on NBC and the success of the NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off as influences on the format.[3]
