If you've been waiting for the NBA's biggest weekend to come back, it's coming. A source confirmed to the Miami Herald that Miami will host NBA All-Star Weekend in February 2028, the first time since 1990. ESPN's Shams Charania reported Monday that the NBA is close to finalizing it, and an AP source said the league is planning a Nov. 30 event to announce it.

The wait came down to the Miami International Boat Show, which shares Presidents' Day Weekend. A source told the Herald the boat show moves to a different weekend in 2028, so the NBA approached the Heat, who hadn't bid. Recent hosts were Chicago, Cleveland, Salt Lake City and Indianapolis, so a warm February makes a nice change. CBS12 says dates aren't confirmed yet.

- Also planned: NBA Crossover, a multi-day interactive fan festival
- Tickets: details will be announced at a later date
