2011 NBA All-Star Game Coming To Staples Center

Reporting
John Ireland
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― I've learned that the NBA will announce tomorrow (Sunday) that the 2011 NBA All-Star game will be played at Staples Center.

This is a major acquisition for the Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), who will have their billion dollar hotel complex--half Ritz-Carlton and half Marriott--open for business long before the game.  It will be the second All Star game played at Staples, which last hosted the game in 2004.  But this time around, the entire LA Live complex (which had not been built in '04), is expected to host a variety of events surrounding All Star weekend.

Staples Center officials had no comment today, but AEG President Tim Leiweke, mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and NBA Commissioner David Stern will make the announcement at 4:15 PST Sunday.
