The NBA is considering a new format for the 2025 All-Star Game, potentially shifting to a four-team tournament. This would involve three teams of eight All-Stars each and a fourth team comprising the winner of the Rising Stars Game. The change aims to enhance competitiveness, as recent All-Star Games have been criticized for lacking intensity.

With the event scheduled for February 16 at the Golden State Warriors' Chase Center, input from players like Stephen Curry is shaping the discussion. The league hopes this new structure will reinvigorate interest and improve viewership, which has declined in recent years.
