After having said last week that no decision had been made on pulling next year's NBA All-Star Game from North Carolina, the league's commissioner now says the game definitely will be moved if the state's recently enacted anti-LGBT law isn't changed.

"We've been, I think, crystal clear a change in the law is necessary for us to play in the kind of environment that we think is appropriate for a celebratory NBA event," commissioner Adam Silver said today at the Associated Press Sports Editors' commissioner meetings in New York City, The Charlotte Observer reports.

The NBA has taken a stand though Commissioner Adam Silver says that the NBA is still pursuing "constructive engagement" with state officials.
