Silver: No decision on moving 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte

There's about seven months remaining until the 2017 NBA All-Star Game, but the league still isn't sure where it will take place.

There's been much controversy over the upcoming All-Star festivities being hosted in North Carolina, where HB2 - or the "bathroom bill" - was passed in March.

The league announced in April it could move the annual event to another city if the bill - which is inconsistent with the NBA's values as it discriminates against the LGBT community - isn't amended.

On Tuesday night at the Board of Governors news conference in Las Vegas, commissioner Adam Silver said that while an update regarding the legislation has been provided, the NBA still isn't ready to make a decision about whether or not it'll move the event from Charlotte.

"The calendar is not our friend," he admitted.

Silver made a point to say the Hornets were awarded the All-Star Game before the state passed HB2.

The commissioner added he's disappointed legislators in N.C. haven't made steps toward modifying the bill, leaving him faced with a "very difficult issue."

He said he understands the choice needs to be made very quickly, considering the time left relative to the preparation required to put on the week-long spectacle.

Rather than having a vote among owners, the league office will make the decision themselves. It has been looking at laws in other cities, including Houston, and is trying to be "extremely cautious" as it awaits another legislative session.
