He's Back! Former MVP Justin Bieber Returns to the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game

Justin Bieber is trading center stage for center court.

While it’s unclear whether the “Sorry” singer will be dunking for the Lakers or the Clippers, the NBA confirmed in a statement Thursday that Bieber will be throwing on a jersey for the 67th Annual NBA Celebrity All-Star Game taking place on Sunday, Feb. 18 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

While Bieber knows how to serenade behind the mic, he also knows how to slay on the court. The 23-year-old was previously named MVP of the Celebrity All-Star basketball game during NBA All-Star weekend in 2011 for scoring eight points on 3-of-11 shooting, grabbing a pair of rebounds and dishing out four assists.

And ever since rekindling his romance with Selena Gomez late last year, the “Wolves” singer has been the sporty singer’s biggest fan in the stands during his hockey games, making it probable she will come support her man upon her return from New York City, where she’s attending fashion week.

The star-studded game airs live Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
