City of Milwaukee, Bucks, lose out to Miami for 2028 NBA all-star game

The City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Bucks have been unsuccessful in their bid to host the 2028 NBA All-Star Game, with Miami being selected as the host city. The Bucks traded star player Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat in the offseason, which may have played a role in the city's loss of the bid. Milwaukee had initially submitted a bid in 2024, with the league considering small markets based on criteria such as centralized entertainment properties, a volume of hotel rooms, and transportation infrastructure.

However, the city was unable to meet all the requirements, and as a result, Miami was chosen as the host for the 2028 event.
