马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 及其团队在NBA全明星周末期间可能会非常忙碌。
如果马刺队在2月1日前锁定西部第二的排名，或者在此日期前就已确定该排名，那么约翰逊将作为三支全明星队之一的教练，承担起全明星赛的执教任务。
通常情况下，全明星赛教练由截至2月1日锁定分区最佳战绩的球队产生，但俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的马克·戴格诺特 (Mark Daigneault) 因执教了去年的全明星队而不具备今年的执教资格。
底特律活塞队教练J.B.·比克斯塔夫 (JB Bickerstaff) 已经获得了执教三支全明星队之一的资格，因为活塞队（32胜11负）已经锁定了东部最佳战绩。
NBA官方于周六宣布，继波士顿凯尔特人队负于芝加哥公牛队之后，活塞队锁定了截至2月1日的东部最佳战绩，比克斯塔夫也因此获得了执教资格。
在周日晚主场迎战新奥尔良鹈鹕队的比赛前，马刺队战绩为31胜14负，在西部排名中领先丹佛掘金队（31胜15负）半个胜场。雷霆队（37胜9负）则领先马刺队5.5个胜场，领先掘金队6.0个胜场。
比克斯塔夫将成为自2005-06赛季以来首位执教全明星赛的活塞队主教练，当时菲利普·桑德斯 (Flip Saunders) 曾率领东部队以122-120取胜。
马刺队上一次有主教练执教全明星赛是在2016年，当时格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 执掌西部明星队的教鞭，并率队以196-173获胜。
2026年全明星赛，即联盟历史上的第75届全明星赛，定于2月15日在加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德市的Intuit穹顶球馆举行。
今年的全明星赛将采用三队制模式，其中两队由美国球员组成，最后一队由国际球员组成。三支队伍将进行四场12分钟的比赛，排名前两位的球队将晋级最终的冠军赛。

Why the Spurs’ Mitch Johnson could be a busy man come All-Star weekend
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson and staff could be busy during NBA All-Star weekend.
Johnson will have All-Star duty as a coach of one of the three All-Star Game teams if the Spurs are seeded second in the Western Conference by Feb. 1, or if they clinch it before that date.
All-Star coaches usually come from the team that clinches the conference’s best record through Feb. 1, but Oklahoma City’s Mark Daigneault isn’t eligible after coaching one of last year’s All-Star teams.
Detroit coach JB Bickerstaff has already earned a spot coaching one of the three All-Star Game teams because the Pistons (32-11) have clinched the Eastern Conference’s best record.
The NBA announced Saturday that Bickerstaff had earned a spot after the Pistons clinched the best record in the East through Feb. 1 following the Boston Celtics’ loss to the Chicago Bulls.
The Spurs are 31-14 heading into Sunday night’s home game against New Orleans, 1/2 game ahead of Denver (31-15) in the West standings. The Thunder (37-9) are 5.5 games ahead of the spurs and 6.0 games ahead of the Nuggets.
Bickerstaff will be Detroit’s first All-Star head coach since 2005-06, when Flip Saunders handled the duties in a 122-120 Eastern Conference victory.
The last time the Spurs had an All-Star game head coach was in 2016, when Gregg Popovich headed the West squad that claimed a 196-173 win.
The 2026 All-Star Game, the 75th in league history, is set for Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
The All-Star format features three teams this year, with two made up of U.S. players and the final squad consisting of international players. The three teams will compete in four 12-minute games, with the top two teams advancing to the championship game.
