A star-studded lineup of 25 celebrities is gearing up to hit the floor, promising fans an evening filled with entertainment. Kai Cent has already kicked off the excitement, making a grand entrance alongside Stephen Curry and sharing a lively celebration with the mascot. Adding to the electrifying atmosphere, Mecole Hardman stepped onto the court just minutes before the game tipped off.

The Kansas City wide receiver was warming up, proudly sporting the #12 jersey with “MR WALKOFF” emblazoned. Hardman brings a contagious winning energy from the recent Super Bowl win to the arena, setting the stage for a thrilling and unforgettable showdown.

Joining the roster for the Celebrity game are some notable NFL players, including Micah Parsons, the linebacker from the Dallas Cowboys, Puka Nacua, the wide receiver representing the Los Angeles Rams, and CJ Stroud, the quarterback from the Houston Texans.
