Guaranteed on the premise that HB2 was repealed. It was partially repealed, but some language in HB142 remains carried over from HB2. It is not a certainty that the NCAA will even come back here with HB142, let alone the All-Star Game.

They did what the NCAA wanted.  So, they'll be back.  They also did what the NBA wanted, and Adam Silvers punk ass wanted.

I don't think it was ever about the bill, it was about public perception.  So the repeal, partial or not, gives the general fan the perception that it has been repealed.  So, the NBA can come back without fear of bad press (same as the NCAA).  So, I'm sure we'll get the all-star game.  Not sure about the year, but it will likely be soon.
