Oct 23, 2019 5:38 PM

The Utah Jazz and Salt Lake City will host the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.

The All-Star Game was last played in Salt Lake City in 1993.

“Along with a rich basketball tradition, Salt Lake City has proven to be a world-class destination for large-scale events and sports competitions,” said Adam Silver.  “I want to thank the Miller Family and the Utah Jazz organization for their commitment to hosting our All-Star festivities and to developing a program that will leave a lasting impact on the community.”

Utah's last All-Star was Gordon Hayward in 2017, though Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert figure to be candidates in 2023.

"I don't know yet," said Williamson. "If I'm being honest, depends on where I'm at."

The All-Star Game will be played in Chicago.
