If you thought Detroit was already making waves at the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, Amon-Ra St. Brown just cranked the volume. The Lions wide receiver is set to join the annual All-Star Celebrity Game on February 13 in Los Angeles, adding football flair to a weekend already buzzing with Motor City pride.
Detroit Everywhere You Look
The Pistons are sending guard Cade Cunningham and their entire coaching staff to the festivities at the Intuit Dome. And with Detroit holding the best record in the Eastern Conference, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and his squad will lead one of the All-Star teams. That’s a serious city-wide representation—and now St. Brown is adding even more star power.
A Homecoming for St. Brown
This isn’t just any trip to L.A. for the three-time All-Pro receiver. Born and raised in Los Angeles and a former USC star, St. Brown returns to the city where his football journey started. Detroit fans, however, know him as a key player in turning the Lions into a consistent playoff contender, racking up four straight 100-plus catch, 1,100-yard seasons since being drafted in 2021.
Football Meets Celebrity Hoops
History shows football stars can shine in the Celebrity Game—just ask DK Metcalf and Micah Parsons, MVPs in recent years. St. Brown may not have their size advantage on the court, but he’s an elite athlete and a devoted basketball fan. Expect him to make his mark, maybe even steal a few highlight reels before tip-off.
Detroit’s Weekend Domination
With Pistons success, Lions stars, and coaches leading All-Star teams, Detroit is practically taking over Los Angeles. Whether it’s on the hardwood or the celebrity court, the city is sending a clear message: Motor City is here, and it’s ready to shine.
