The 2016 NBA All-Star game is just about a month away and it will be taking place in Toronto. For the first time ever, the All-Star Game festivities are being held outside of the United States and that means all the best have to come out and celebrate.

First official announcement has been made and it’s what everyone has been waiting for, the 2016 All-Star Celebrity game rosters. Notably, there are a few big names missing like secretary of education Arne Duncan, Grizzlies part owner Robert Pera and even Toronto’s own and NBATV’s newest stars, ‘The Starters’ in J.E. Skeet, Tas Melas, Trey Kerby and Leigh Ellis.

Following from an official NBA press release.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced today that Grammy® Award-winning artist and Toronto Raptors Global Ambassador Drake and four-time NBA All-Star Celebrity Game MVP and actor Kevin Hart will face off as head coaches of the Canada and USA teams, respectively, at NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2016 on Friday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. ET. The game will air live on ESPN from Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto.

Drake will be joined on the sidelines by two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash and Toronto Blue Jays All-Star right fielder José Bautista. Canada’s team will feature Stephan James (“Race”); Arcade Fire’s Win Butler; Drew and Jonathan Scott (HGTV’s “Property Brothers”); professional tennis player Milos Raonic; actor and singer Kris Wu; seven-time NBA All-Star Tracy McGrady; NBA TV analyst Rick Fox; and Natalie Achonwa of the Indiana Fever.

Hart’s USA team will include Jason Sudeikis (“Race”); Michael B. Jordan (“Creed”); Anthony Anderson (ABC’s “blackish”); Bryshere “Yazz” Gray (FOX’s “Empire”); Nick Cannon (“America’s Got Talent”); five-time NBA All-Star and ESPN analyst Chauncey Billups; NBA legend Muggsy Bogues; Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry; and WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne of the Chicago Sky.

For the 12th consecutive year, ESPN will televise the game beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
