While the 2021 NBA All-Star game in Indianapolis is most likely not happening, the league is looking to safely move forward out of the current state of the world and begin planning for the future.
The Philadelphia 76ers are currently moving forward with a few new additions to their organization such as a new Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and a new VP of Personnel. With these new additions, they are feeling pretty confident about their basketball team and they also want to show their arena and their city to the world.
In a report by CNBC’s Jabari Young, the Sixers are working on coming up with a plan to host the 2026 All-Star game at the Wells Fargo Center. Young reports:
And the Sixers are working with Philadelphia officials and Comcast, which owns the Wells Fargo Center, to host an NBA All-Star game in 2026.
The Sixers have been planning on moving out of the Wells Fargo Center and they made a proposal for an arena in the city’s Penn’s Landing area, but the proposal was rejected. Now, the team looks to move forward in the arena and a new front office configuration. [lawrence-related id=38474,38468,38459]
