Denver is all but a lock to land the 2005 NBA All-Star Game. It's likely to become official the week of June 8.

"I'm hoping in about two weeks we'll have something to announce," David Ehrlich, executive vice president for Kroenke Sports, said Friday.

Ehrlich said Kroenke Sports officials still are getting the licensing agreement with the NBA in order. He anticipates everything to be done by the week after next.
