NBA Rumors- The Phoenix Suns are anticipated to host the NBA All-Star Weekend in 2027 because of.
According to Shams Charania and Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic, the NBA and the Phoenix Suns are getting close to reaching a deal to hold the 2027 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix.
The Suns would be hosting All-Star Weekend for the first time since 2009.
This summer, when the Phoenix Mercury host the WNBA All-Star Game at Footprint Center, they will get a bit of a test run.
Phoenix’s selection carries on the tradition of holding upcoming All-Star Games in warm, western regions of the US. In 2025, the Golden State Warriors will host, and in 2026, the Los Angeles Clippers.
For fans who were hoping for a change of scenery after the event alternated between Atlanta, Cleveland, Salt Lake City, and most recently Indianapolis, this is wonderful news.
With so many possible outcomes from the organization’s all-in attitude, it will be interesting to watch how the Suns are doing in 2027.
Before the 2026–2027 season, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal will both be eligible for free agency, while Devin Booker will be in that gray area where his future is uncertain. His four-year, $221.1 million supermax agreement will expire in two years, at which point elite players are often the focus of trade rumors.
By the time the 2027 All-Star Game begins, Phoenix might still be a title contender—possibly even having won one before. It’s also possible that the franchise has had to take a completely different turn, in which case the All-Star festivities will highlight just how drastically the Suns’ situation has changed.
