The Chicago Bulls will host the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, Nick Friedell of ESPN tweets. The formal announcement is expected to come on Friday, with NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel in attendance.
The All-Star Weekend will move to Chicago a year after the 2019 game is played in Charlotte. This year, of course, the mid-season festivities will be held in Los Angeles.
The last time the All-Star Game was held in Chicago was 1988. At that time, however, it was held at Chicago Stadium and not the United Center.
Sweet!
