The NBA is “considering changing the format for the All-Star Game" that will be played in S.F. later this season. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said they are “looking at other formats.” He added that the league is looking at making the All-Star Game “not a traditional game format,” but stopped short of saying what that could mean. Silver enlisted Warriors G Stephen Curry to help “figure out a way to make the All-Star Game more competitive this season.” Any changes would “almost certainly have to involve the leadership” of the NBPA as well. NBA President of League Operations Byron Spruell, EVP & Head of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars and EVP/Basketball Strategy & Analytics Evan Wasch have "formed a committee to talk to team representatives and the players association to try and find a solution" (AP, 11/2).
