Here's a look at this year's participants and a preview of the Skills Challenge:


Team Antetokounmpo

Team Jazz

Jordan Clarkson - Utah Jazz

Team Rooks

The Skills Challenge features three teams made up of three players competing in a four-round competition that tests their shooting, passing and dribbling skills.

Every team will compete in the first three rounds of the competition, which are made up of shooting, passing and relay events. If two or more teams are tied after all three rounds are complete, a tiebreaker will be determined by half-court shots. The team that makes a half-court shot in the lowest amount of time wins.

The Skills Challenge was revamped in 2022 to include three teams made up of three players. The Team Cavs trio, made up of Cleveland Cavaliers stars Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, won the competition last year.

Before 2022, players competed individually to win the competition, and the last three individual winners include Domantas Sabonis, Bam Adebayo and Jayson Tatum. The last guard to win the event was Spencer Dinwiddie in 2018.

The All-Star Game will take place on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.
