Will Howard's future upstage the All-Star Game?

HOUSTON - NBA Commissioner David Stern doesn't believe this year's All-Star Game in Orlando will be upstaged by Dwight Howard's uncertain future.

Stern spoke Wednesday in Houston, where he officially announced that the All-Star Game would be held there in 2013. Where Howard will be playing by then is anyone's guess.

The Magic's six-time All-Star has asked to be traded, and he'll be a free agent after the season. This year's game will be played Feb 26, less than a month before the March 15 trade deadline.
