The Milwaukee Bucks will send at least one player to All-Star Weekend, but how many more could appear in one of the weekend’s events?

Christmas Day is one of the biggest days of the NBA calendar, with five games on national television spread out across the holiday. The Milwaukee Bucks, a small-market team with no recent postseason success, were not a part of the Christmas matchups.

Dec. 21 marked the start of the All-Star voting period for the league. For just three weeks fans will have the opportunity to weigh in one who they think should represent the league in the All-Star game this February. Their votes will be weighted alongside media and current players to determine the starters for the All-Star game.

But there will be more than just a handful of the league’s elite showing up to the NBA’s marquee weekend. In addition to the All-Star reserves added by coaches down the line, there will be players participating in a number of events from Friday through Sunday of All-Star Weekend.

What events could see a player from the Bucks show up to compete in front of a national audience? Everyone expects a certain long-limbed and long-named player to start the All-Star game, but which of his teammates could also be asked to show up?

Going in chronological order from Friday night through the headline event Sunday, here are five events where the Milwaukee Bucks could send a representative.
