After scrapping a full All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis because of the coronavirus pandemic, the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are in early discussions about the possibility of hosting an All-Star Game near Atlanta during the March midseason break, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
The NBA announced in November that the 2021 All-Star Weekend, which was initially scheduled for Feb. 12-14 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, would be postponed until 2024, citing public health conditions. TNT, one of the NBA s major media partners and the official television broadcaster of All-Star Weekend, is based in Atlanta.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Talking to a person with COVID-19 is just as dangerous as when they cough your way, a new study claims.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge found infected air droplets from a cough linger anywhere between one and seven minutes. Droplets dispersed from talking, however, can remain airborne for up to 30 minutes with just a 30-second conversation. The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society.
“Speaking is a very important issue that has to be considered because it produces much finer particles [than coughing] and these particles can be suspended in amounts that are sufficient to cause the disease,” lead author, Dr. Pedro Magalhães de Oliveira, said in an interview with The Guardian.
