Viewership for last weekend’s NBA All-Star Game was near all-time lows. 

Just 4.718 million basketball fans tuned in to TNT/TBS/TruTV for the game on Sunday night, per Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel. 

That number is a 13 percent decrease on the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, which drew 5.398 million viewers.

And the numbers get even worse than that.  

According to Front Office Sports, the recent game ranked as the second-least-watched in the event’s history, narrowly surpassing the 2023 game, which drew around 4.6 million viewers.

The ratings release closes the book on a disastrous All-Star weekend for the league. 

This year, the league switched the format to a mini-tournament in an attempt to bring back a more competitive nature to the game. 

In the middle of this year’s game, Warriors star and TNT analyst Draymond Green ripped the new format, calling it “unfair” and “ridiculous.”

Prior to the game, LeBron James, one of the NBA’s top players, announced his absence due to persisting ankle and foot issues, a decision criticized by former NBA All-Stars such as Green, Jalen Rose, and Vince Carter.

The negative feedback from viewers has led the NBA to contemplate potential modifications for upcoming All-Star weekends shortly after the recent festivities, with suggestions including the introduction of a 1-on-1 competition.

Another one of the game’s biggest names, Kevin Durant, went as far as to say the NBA should scrap the events altogether.

Next season, NBA All-Star weekend will be broadcast on NBC after two decades on TNT.
