2022 NBA All-Star Game Captains, Starters, and Uniforms Unveiled!
The 2022 NBA All-Star game is set for February 20th at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. This will be the Cavaliers' third time being the host city for the weekend's events, and the timing couldn't be better as the Cavs have been generating quite a bit of interest with their strong play as of late. On Thursday, the NBA announced the rosters for this year's All-Star Game, as well as what the players will be wearing when they take the court next month.

Joining Durant in the East will be Chicago Bulls guard/forward Demar Derozan and Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young as their starting guards, while Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid fill out the frontcourt.
