With the Skills Challenge in our rearview, NBA All-Star Saturday Night continues with the 3-Point Contest.
As in years past, the 2023 contest will feature eight contestants and is separated into two rounds, with the top three contestants from the first round advancing to the finals.
There will be a new champion this year, as last year’s winner, Karl-Anthony Towns, is unable to participate because of a calf injury. Will we see another big man capture the crown? Or will a perimeter player get the win?
The Sporting News will track live scores, results and highlights from the second event of All-Star Saturday Night.
