Report: Pascal Siakam in Skills Challenge, Devonte' Graham in 3-Point Contest

Joseph ZuckerFeb 4, 2020

The NBA added two more players to its All-Star Weekend festivities.ย 

Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reported Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam will compete in the Skills Challenge, and Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham will enter the Three-Point Contest.

Charaniaย reported in January that Derrick Rose would be in the Skills Challenge, allowing the Detroit Pistons point guard to take center stage in Chicago, where he started his NBA career.ย

Siakam is averaging 23.7 points and 3.4 assists while shooting 46.2 percent from the field. His all-around game is well-suited to the skills competition, which tests a player's speed, shooting and passing.

Patrick Beverley is in the event's field as well, per ESPN'sย Adrian Wojnarowski. The Los Angeles Clippers point guard won the competition in 2015.

Haynesย provided an update on the Three-Point Contest last Friday. He reportedย Buddy Hield, Trae Young and Damian Lillard had all accepted invitations, with Luka Doncic still mulling over the opportunity.ย Michael Scottoย of Bleacher Report and the Associated Press reported reigning champion Joe Harris will be back.

Partaking in All-Star Weekend adds to Graham's breakout season. He's averaging 17.9 points, up from 4.7 in 2018-19, and shooting 37.6 percent from beyond the arc.ย His 3.5 made three-pointers per game rank fifth in the NBA.

Graham could become the first Hornets player to lift the three-point title.
