NBA All-Star jerseys to be sleeved

The NBA confirm that the All-Star jerseys for February 16 in New Orleans will be sleeved.

The NBA have confirmed that images leaked on Thursday of the uniform designs for this year's All-Star Game are in fact those that will be worn.

The new designs are the latest move by the league to push sleeved jerseys, although there has been a mixed response from the players.

"Each year, we look forward to developing a unique on-court look for the players that pays homage to the host city and adds to the excitement of this highly anticipated game," Chris Grancio, head of global basketball sports marketing for Adidas, said in a press release.

The All-Star Game will be held in New Orleans on February 16, with the final voting results expected to be announced on January 23.
