Nuggets' Michael Malone to coach Team LeBron in 2023 NBA All-Star Game

Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone and his staff will coach Team LeBron in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, the NBA announced tonight.

Malone earned the spot because the Nuggets have clinched the best record in the Western Conference through games played on Feb. 5. 

This is the second All-Star head-coaching honor for Malone, who also guided Team LeBron back in 2019. 

TNT will televise the 2023 NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 19 at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.

The two captains, Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James, will draft their teams right before tip-off.

Denver is currently 35-16, and they have a three-game lead over the second-seeded Memphis Grizzlies. The Nuggets have the best offense in the NBA, scoring 115.5 points per 100 possessions.
