Kenny Atkinson’s first season as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers will include his first time as a head coach in the All-Star Game.
Atkinson’s Cavaliers (36-7) clinched the best record in the Eastern Conference through games played this Sunday thanks to the Boston Celtics‘ 117-96 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. As a result, Atkinson will coach one of the four teams in the revamped All-Star Game format on Feb. 16 at Chase Center in San Francisco.
