The 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend is scheduled for Indianapolis. The event had been scheduled for Indy in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a change in location, and the city got the '24 game.

Starting lineups for the game are determined by a combination of fan (50%), media (25%) and player (25%) voting, and the rest of the rosters are determined by coaches. Twelve players from the Eastern and Western conferences will participate.

There will be plenty to do away from the court, as well, with fan experiences and concerts available throughout the weekend.

Here's what you should know about the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend.

All-Star history: All the winners and MVPs

East vs. West format returns to NBA All-Star Game

12 players from each conference will play, with the Eastern Conference All-Stars facing the Western Conference All-Stars. In the previous six years, team captains drafted players from the full pool of All-Stars.

Also, the game will be four 12-minute quarters, like a standard game. The league had used an "Elam ending" format, in which the end of the game was untimed but a team won when reaching a target score. That system, developed by a Ball State University professor, has an interesting theory about the NBA's move.

The teams will continue competing to win each quarter for a charitable cause they choose.

NBA All-Star Game uniforms

The NBA uses what it calls a classic "Hoosier-inspired" design for this year's uniforms. It features stripes, recalling a previous Pacers uniform, and a nod to Indy's nickname of the "Circle City."

Indianapolis and the NBA All-Star Game

Indianapolis hosted the 1985 NBA All-Star game at the Hoosier Dome. The West beat the East 140-129 behind MVP Ralph Sampson of the Houston Rockets, who scored 24 points and had 10 rebounds.

NBA All-Star Game concerts

Musical stars of many genres will take to stages across downtown in the lead-up to the game: Lil Wayne on Feb. 18, Keith Urban and Jelly Roll on Feb. 17; T-Pain and DJ Zedd on Feb. 16, Machine Gun Kelly and DJ Diesel on Feb. 15.
