NBA commissioner David Stern says that New Orleans wants to host another All-Star Game in the near future.

Whether or not the Hornets are able to host another All-Star weekend might be contingent on the team signing a new lease extension with Louisiana before their current deal expires in 2014.

Franchise officials want the game to return in 2014, but Stern hasn't declared the city as a frontrunner yet.

"We have a lot of teams making investments in their buildings and they would like to have us," Stern said.
