Kevin Huerter eliminated after round one of 3-point contest

SALT LAKE CITY — All of Sacramento’s eyes were glued to Kevin Huerter on Saturday night as the 39% 3-point shooter participated in the highly anticipated NBA 3-point Contest.

And with the likes of former champion, Buddy Hield (Indiana Pacers), Dame Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers), Tyler Herro (Miami Heat), amongst others all participating in this contest, Huerter looked to be a dark horse. DraftKings Sportsbook had him as a (+450) underdog heading into the competition.

But the 19-degree weather in Salt Lake City Utah must have gotten to Kevin, as he just couldn't get it going.
