Dodgers' Mookie Betts Named 2026 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game Coach, Shams Charania to Play
This year's Celebrity Game at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles will feature someone that fans in LA know very well.
Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts has been named a coach for the Celebrity Game, the NBA announced Tuesday.
Betts' hobbies stretch far beyond the baseball world, as he's an avid bowler and a talented golfer. Whether he'll be able to coach his team to victory in the Celebrity Game next month remains to be seen.
ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania also confirmed he'll be taking the court, though it remains to be seen if he'll be suiting up for Betts.
The other coaches and the full rosters for the Celebrity Game are still unknown, but the NBA revealed Tuesday that rapper GloRilla, who is dating Toronto Raptors star Brandon Ingram, and producer Mustard, a Los Angeles native, will participate in the event.
All-Star Weekend will tip off with the Celebrity Game on Friday, Feb. 13, followed by the Rising Stars Challenge and the HBCU Classic. All-Star Saturday will feature the Three-Point and Dunk Contests and the weekend will conclude with the All-Star Game on Sunday.
