NBA is reportedly set to move All-Star game from Charlotte over anti-LGBT law

The NBA is "on the brink" of moving the 2017 All-Star game from Charlotte, a move that NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski calls "imminent."
The NBA has been threatening to move the game unless the state of North Carolina changed a law limiting the anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people. However, NBA commissioner would not previously set deadlines or ultimatums, only saying that for logistical purposes a decision would need to be made this summer.
Those decisions appear to be close with the game likely heading to New Orleans.
"Sources: NBA on brink of pulling 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte, with New Orleans emerging as a front-runner to host Feb. 19 game ... Failure of North Carolina to change discriminatory legislation targeting the state's LGBT community pushing NBA to abandon Charlotte game."
Wojnarowski later referred to the move as "imminent."
