Although the Corona plague is disrupting the agenda of the NBA season, it may not ultimately prevent the existence of the traditional All-Star Game.

ESPN reports that the league's management and players' organization, led by Phoenix star Chris Paul, are in talks about the possibility of holding an All-Star Game in early March when the preferred destination is Atlanta.

The traditional All-Star weekend that was scheduled to take place in Indiana in February has been canceled due to the eruption of the corona, but there are now discussions about the All-Star Game on March 7 in Atlanta, which will be held in a much smaller format than the All-Star weekend celebrations as we know it.

In terms of the schedule between March 5 and 10, a mid-season break is planned at the NBA.

According to reports, the talks focused on the All-Star Game only, and the possibility of conducting some kind of activities for the general public, if at all, as there are many logistical difficulties involved in organizing such an event during a global epidemic.

The rising star game in which Danny Abdia could have participated, as well as the ringing and triathlon competition have not been mentioned in the reports of the talks so far.
