Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff is headed to LA for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.
After the Pistons clinched the Eastern Conference’s best record through Feb. 1, Bickerstaff earns a spot coaching one of the 3 All-Star Game teams. It’s his first time serving as an All-Star Game head coach.
Bickerstaff will be Detroit’s first All-Star head coach since 2005-06, when Flip Saunders handled the duties in a 122-120 Eastern Conference victory.
The 2026 All-Star Game, the 75th in league history, will take place February 15 (5 ET) on NBC & Peacock.
