This year’s Celebrity Game at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles will feature someone that fans in LA know very well. <\/p>\n
Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts has been named a coach for the Celebrity Game, the NBA announced Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Betts’ hobbies stretch far beyond the baseball world, as he’s an avid bowler<\/a> and a talented golfer<\/a>. Whether he’ll be able to coach his team to victory in the Celebrity Game next month remains to be seen. <\/p>\n ESPN NBA insider Shams <\/a>Charania also confirmed he’ll be taking the court, though it remains to be seen if he’ll be suiting up for Betts. <\/p>\n The other coaches and the full rosters for the Celebrity Game are still unknown, but the NBA revealed<\/a> Tuesday that rapper GloRilla, who is dating<\/a> Toronto Raptors star Brandon Ingram, and producer Mustard, a Los Angeles native, will participate in the event. <\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This year’s Celebrity Game at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles will feature someone that fans in LA…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437351,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-437350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
