The game will be played at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the home arena of the Charlotte Hornets, on 19th February.
It will be the second All-Star Game in Charlotte after the city hosted in 1991.
"As a thriving city with a proud basketball tradition and a deep
passion for the game, the city of Charlotte is a terrific All-Star
destination," said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
"We thank Michael Jordan, the Hornets organization and the Charlotte
community for their support and congratulate them on bringing our
All-Star festivities back to North Carolina."
Hornets Chairman Michael Jordan said: "It is an honor to bring NBA All-Star back to Charlotte.
"I remember the excitement of playing in the 1991 All-Star Game, the
first one held in my home state, and I take pride in being able to host
NBA All-Star 2017 as the owner of the Hornets.
"This is a great moment for our fans, our city, and our franchise. We
are excited to welcome the world to Charlotte and Time Warner Cable
Arena in 2017."
