NBA All-Star Game Ratings Second-Least-Watched Ever, Down 13% From Last Year

The NBA All-Star Game brought a new, tournament-style format—but it wasn’t enough to entice viewers to tune in.
The midseason showcase averaged 4.7 million viewers across TNT platforms, down 13% compared to last year, according to FOS media and entertainment reporter Ryan Glasspiegel. It’s the second-least-watched NBA All-Star Game, ahead only of the 2023 All-Star Game (4.6 million).
The last three NBA All-Star Games have all averaged under six million viewers, the only three in NBA history that have not breached that threshold.
Three of the league’s biggest stars (LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Anthony Edwards) did not play in Sunday’s tournament. When stars are unable to participate, the NBA normally brings in a replacement player—as they did with Kyrie Irving and Trae Young, who replaced Anthony Davis and Antetokounmpo, respectively. But James and Edwards were both late scratches.
The league also competed against “SNL 50,” the special 50th anniversary episode of Saturday Night Live. NBC, which owns the rights to NBA All-Star weekend starting next season, drew 14.8 million viewers for “SNL 50”—202% more than its usual viewership this season.

No self respecting man is watching that shite. The regular season is unwatchable, the All Star game is torture.

No sport gets more hype for less ratings than the NBA.

The NHL has this right.

The fallacy is in the name - all star “Game”.
What game?

I’d be getting anxious if I owned an NBA franchise.

There were 14.8 million viewers for SNL…… goodness gracious. How are there so many fricking people with absolutely nothing better to do. I think I’d rather watch paint dry.
I honestly don’t think I can comprehend just how stupid the average American is.

I enjoyed the rising stars tournament on Friday and I like that format for the rising stars.
I don't really watch any of the contest anymore.
I watched bc it was some different and it was on my dvr. I did not like the tournament format for the all star game.
It was cool seeing the rising stars play the nba all stars

I’d have the allstar version of the rising stars game… take the 10 younger allstars and have them play the 10 older ones… it’s only one game so you don’t need big rosters

Adam Silver is watching the league crumble, and does nothing to address the elephant(s) in the room.
