The NBA was in the spotlight for a couple weeks.
First, there was the wild trade deadline earlier this month. Then, the top stars shined bright during the 2026 All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
The 82-game schedule resumes later this week but following the All-Star Game, teams have a few more days off to enjoy a break.
Less than two months remain in the regular season and fewer than 30 games for every team before the playoffs in mid-April.
