No COVID-19 cases at All-Star Weekend
While there was a COVID-19 scare involving Philadelphia 76ers All-Stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, it appears that the rest of the NBA escaped All-Star Weekend without any positive COVID-19 cases, according to ESPN.

Simmons and Embiid were sent home as part of contact tracing after they both were deemed a close contact of a barber that tested positive for COVID-19. The pair did not play in the All-Star game on Sunday night.
