NFL wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions and Keenan Allen of the Los Angeles Chargers will play in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Feb. 13, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The NBA previously announced that ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania, rapper GloRilla and record producer Mustard will play in the game, while Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts will coach.
The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game will be played at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, two nights before the NBA All-Star Game at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood on Feb. 15.
St. Brown, 26, is a superstar slot receiver who has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of the past four seasons. He is also a two-time First Team All-Pro and one-time Second Team All-Pro.
Originally selected by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft out of USC, St. Brown has eclipsed 100 receptions and 1,100 receiving yards in each of the past four campaigns.
In 2025, St. Brown racked up 117 catches for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns, marking his third straight campaign with double-digit touchdowns.
The 33-year-old Allen recently completed his 13th NFL season, 12 of which have been spent with the Chargers.
A 2013 third-round pick out of California, Allen is a six-time Pro Bowler, and he was the 2017 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Allen has reached the 1,000-yard mark six times and the 100-catch mark five times in his career, and he is the Chargers’ all-time leader in receptions (985) and second in team history in receiving yardage (11,307).
After spending one season with the Chicago Bears in 2024, Allen returned to the Bolts in 2025 and finished with 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns.
NFL players like St. Brown and Allen have a history of success in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, as wide receivers Terrell Owens and DK Metcalf, and pass-rusher Micah Parsons are among those who have been named MVP of the game.
