Rajon Rondo won't participate in the 2013 All-Star Game, despite being tabbed as a starter as he recovers from a torn ACL, but Kevin Garnett will carry the torch proudly in what could be his final All-Star Game to represent the Boston Celtics.

Garnett will make his 15th appearance in the mid-season classic, and according to the man himself, it may be his last. He'll participate in the game on Sunday at Toyota Center, but not before the earlier action tips off on Friday and Saturday with an exciting new East vs. West format.

The new format will feature the NBA's two conferences in four events on Saturday. The winning team will be the conference that has the most points at the end of All-Star Saturday night, with the winning squad getting a cash prize to donate to the charity of their choice.

Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers will captain the West while the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade will lead the East.

Here's a breakdown of all of the TV coverage and schedule of events:
