The 3-Point Contest and Skills Challenge will take place prior to the All-Star Game on the same day and the Slam Dunk Contest will be performed at halftime, sources say. The Trail Blazers’ franchise player is sure to be named an All-Star for the sixth time.
Lillard, 30, is third in the league in 3-pointers made (105) while shooting 38% from that range.
