The 2026 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game will have a representative from the Detroit Lions.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, as well as fellow receiver and Los Angeles Chargers veteran Keenan Allen, will participate in this year’s event, according to ESPN. The celebrity showcase, which is scheduled for Feb. 13, serves as the official beginning of All-Star Weekend at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. It starts at 7 p.m. and is televised by ESPN.
St. Brown is a California native and attended Mater Dei High School, about 40 miles away from Intuit Dome.
The weekend will culminate in the NBA’s 75th All-Star Game on Feb. 15. Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff will coach one of the three teams in the new U.S. vs. World format, and star Cade Cunningham was voted an All-Star starter for the first time in his career.
St. Brown recently finished his fifth season with the Lions, catching 117 passes for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns. He earned All-Pro honors as a member of the second team, earning the fifth-most points in All-Pro voting among receivers (54), behind the Los Angeles Rams’ Puka Nacua (150), Seattle’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba (150), Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase (102) and Dallas’ George Pickens (91).
