Keenan Allen and Amon-Ra St. Brown are set to clash later this month, but it won’t be during a typical football game.
These NFL stars will actually take to the basketball court instead. Allen, who plays for the Chargers, and St. Brown, a receiver for the Lions, will be on opposing teams in the 2026 Raffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, as announced by the NBA on Tuesday.
The event is slated for February 13th at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, featuring both players among several other high-profile figures participating in this annual matchup.
St. Brown’s team will also include personalities like Keegan-Michael Key, Shams Charania, Tacko Fall, and Jeremy Lin.
On the other side, Allen’s team will feature well-known celebrities such as music producer DJ Mustard, Suns chairman Matt Ishbia, and former NBA player Jason “White Chocolate” Williams.
Coaching roles in the event will be taken up by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Mookie Betts, and comedian Anthony Anderson.
Additionally, K-pop group CORTIS is lined up for halftime entertainment.
While there hasn’t been any public banter between Allen and St. Brown, both players are known for their eloquence, making it likely that some social media exchanges might happen soon enough.
The game is set to tip off at 4:00 PM Pacific Time.
