Sources: NBA on brink of pulling 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte, with New Orleans emerging as a front-runner to host Feb. 19 game.

Sounds about right, everyone seems to love when New Orleans hosts these sort of events!

If it gets pulled out of Charlotte, it's between NO and Vegas. Last I heard yesterday Vegas was considered the slight favorite, but a lot can change in 24 hours.

The NBA had discussed moving the All-Star Game to the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, sources said, but scheduling conflicts at the facility became part of the reason the idea never advanced past high-level league conversations during the Las Vegas summer league this month, sources said.

From Woj's article, so yeah. My job is involved in the planning process of this, and I can say for sure that Vegas is still trying, and the NBA is still listening.
