The 2025 All-Star Game will have a special feel. Among the rule changes<\/a> are a quartet of four-point circles on the court situated 28 feet from the basket. A player who makes a shot while in contact with one of the four areas will receive four points. This idea was also implemented for the 2022 game.<\/p>\n WNBA<\/p>\n
