The 2021 NBA All-Star Weekend will not be held as scheduled, an NBA
spokesperson told Fieldhouse Files.
一名NBA发言人最近对新架设篮球新闻分析网站"Fieldhouse Files"证实︰明年的
全明星赛周末，将不会依照原先的预定日期举办。
(注1︰Fieldhouse Files是印第安纳资深体育记者Scott Agness利用新窜起架站
平台"Substack"架设的新开网站，其站名取自溜马队的主场Bankers Life Field-
house，内容不难想像会有不少关于溜马队的报导与文章)
“Given the uncertainty surrounding the schedule for the 2020-21 NBA season,
we and the Indiana Pacers informed our hotel partners in Indianapolis that
NBA All-Star 2021 is unlikely to take place on Presidents’ Day weekend so
they could make other arrangements. More information about next season’s
schedule, including NBA All-Star, will be announced at a later date.”
这位联盟官员表示︰“有鉴于2020-21赛季有着还无法确定赛程安排的问题，我们
(联盟)与印第安那溜马队，已经通知在印城的饭店伙伴一件重要事情–2021年NBA
的明星赛周末，确定不会在总统节周末(注2)举办；所以这些业者，已经可以进行
其他的安排了。至于更多有关于下个赛季的赛程安排，包括明星赛，则将会在过
几天后另行公布。”
(注2︰总统节是为了庆祝美国国父华盛顿总统冥诞的纪念日(实际上是2月22日)，
美国政府原则上会在每逢2月的第三个星期一放假一天)
The NBA tentatively plans on beginning next season in December.
NBA目前暂定12月初展开下个赛季。
The following statement from Pacers Sports & Entertainment president & COO
Rick Fuson was provided to Fieldhouse Files:
“We have been working with the NBA since 2017 to bring our fans and our city
this world-class event, just as we did when we last hosted in 1985. While it
appears NBA All-Star 2021 is unlikely to happen on Presidents’ Day weekend,
we are excited about continuing to collaborate with the NBA as we look to the
future.”
溜马队所属管理公司的总经理兼COO(营运长)Rick Fuson也对记者发表了下列声明︰
“我们团队自从2017年起，就与NBA合作举办这项世界级的活动，给我们的球迷与
城市，如同我们在1985年所做的。尽管2021年的NBA全明星赛周末很明显不可能发生
在总统节周末，我们还是很欣慰能继续与NBA官方继续合作这个让我们能够展望未来
的活动。”
The NBA has already scheduled its next two All-Star Games for Cleveland
(2022) and Salt Lake City (2023).
NBA另外确定了未来几次明星赛的举办地点︰2022在克里夫兰，2023在爵士主场盐湖
城。
