While most of the Brooklyn Nets can start to recharge their batteries with their pre-NBA All-Star break schedule completed, Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie still have some work ahead of them.
Although it was initially expected Dinwiddie would not receive an invite to participate in the Skills Challenge, the Nets point guard was given the opportunity and accepted. He won the crown in 2018 and will have the chance to take it back from the reigning champ, Boston Celtics wing Jayson Tatum.
Harris, meanwhile, has to fight to retain his title as the 3-Point Contest champion. But he told YES Network following Wednesday’s win that he’s ready to represent his team and his city:
I’m excited to go and represent Brooklyn. Obviously, anytime I can get out to All-Star Weekend its an opportunity I can’t pass up. So, I’m looking forward to it.
The NBA All-Star Saturday Night festivities kick off at 8 p.m. The Skills Challenge will be the first event.
