According to commissioner Adam Silver, the NBA is considering extending All Star Weekend to a full week. h
“One of the issues LeBron raised is a break during All-Star [Weekend],” Silver said during a radio interview with ESPN. “[For] a guy like LeBron, All-Star Weekend is not a break for him in any way. He’s going around the clock with a combination of things the league is asking him to do, personal commitments, and I think it makes sense if we can work in the schedule a few days so the All-Stars can get a break as well.”
The implementation of a week long break would mean that each team would then have at least one more set of back-to-bad games according to the Sun Sentinel. The change in schedule would have to be negotiated by new NBPA director Michele Roberts. Silver said this was the main issued addressed in his meeting with LeBron James during All Star Weekend in New Orleans.
