Josh Groban is also among the 2011 NBA All-Star Entertainment series performers the league revealed Wednesday.

Kravitz will perform his song “Come on Get it” during introductions of the starting lineups at the Feb. 20 game in Los Angeles before Groban sings the national anthem.

Rihanna’s halftime show will include her hit songs “Only Girl (In the World)” and “What’s My Name.”

The NBA All-Star Entertainment series, presented by American Express, also will feature performances by Keri Hilson and Cee-Lo Green during the Saturday night events.
