The teams will be split between Team Dwyane, led by Wade, and Team Ryan, headed by Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith. Wade, also a minority owner in the Jazz, will host this year’s All-Star Weekend.
Team Dwyane’s head coach will be Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, along with his brothers Thanasis, who also plays for the Bucks, and Alex, who plays for the Bucks G-League team, Wisconsin Herd. Also joining the coaching team with the Antetokounmpo brothers is Olympic Gold Medalist Lindsey Vonn.
As for Team Ryan, Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will be the coach, along with a surprise guest that has yet to be announced.
This year’s Celebrity All-Star game will include something new. Each team captain will have the option to activate “Ruffles Crunch Time” to start a two-minute period where point values are doubled. The “Unlock a Legend” feature will return this year which gives a team the ability to add a legendary NBA player to their roster mid-game.
Throughout the game, the captains and team members will compete in gameplay activations to raise up to $100,000 to benefit “5 For The Fight Cancer Research Internship” in partnership with Howard University, according to NBA.com.
