NBA All-Star Weekend is almost upon us, with plenty of exciting events including the slam dunk contest, three-point contest, and, of course, the NBA All-Star Game.

On Feb. 4, the NBA officially announced that WWE Superstar and multi-time world champion Bayley will be playing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Team Rice, coached by NFL legend Jerry Rice and TikToker Khaby Lame.
Bayley was naturally excited, sharing her announcement with the phrase “Love and Basketball baby!”
Bayley will likely make a huge mark on the team, especially since she was the captain of her basketball team when she was a senior in high school.
Other players on Bayley’s team include former NBA player Matt Barnes, comedian Druski, NFL legend Terrell Owens, and recent Grammy Award nominee Shaboozey.
Bayley isn’t the first WWE Superstar to play in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. The Miz played in the 2023 game where he hit a game-winning half-court shot, but it was just after the buzzer went off.
The San Jose native has already been getting plenty of attention for appearing in the game, including from Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who sent Bayley a signed jersey.
“Thank you [Warriors] and [Steph Curry] for this incredibly thoughful gift ahead of my first [NBA All-Star] game!” Bayley said on Instagram. “I’ll make the Bay Area proud!”
