Jayson Tatum, Kevin Huerter will participate in the All-Star three-point contest

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Is Tatum taller in the NBA?
Allen: “He might be, I have no idea. He was tall when we got to Duke. For me, personally, I played with Brandon Ingram the year before, and then Jayson the following year, and so seeing those guys both come in…” – 1:12 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Asked Allen to reflect on Tatum’s growth since Duke: “He’s obviously extremely talented, and now, it’s more than talent, he’s kind of risen above to one of the top levels in the league … last year, leading his team in the playoffs and now what he’s done so far this season…” – 1:03 PM

Jayson Tatum will do the 3PT contest. But why is his and Jaylen Brown’s efficiency from deep down after hot starts to their careers.
Volume is part of the story, but not all of it, as the C’s lean all the way into that shot @BostonSportsBSJ bostonsportsjournal.com/2023/02/10/nba… – 11:14 AM

Lengthy Celtics injury report ahead of their game against the Bucks tomorrow. Jayson Tatum is doubtful with a non-COVID illness, which means he’s def feeling it considering how much he wants to play. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart are also out. More here: masslive.com/celtics/2023/0… – 5:44 PM

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
3-Point Contest confirmed:
Pacers: Haliburton/Hield
Blazers: Lillard/Simons
Kings: Huerter
Jazz: Markkanen
Will Kings/Jazz have second shooter in team-themed format? That’s TBD, but Keegan Murray says he’s going to Iowa on Saturday, so he’s probably out.

Correction: Huerter had a late rebound and putback that raised put him at 15 points and 8 rebounds for the game. – 1:31 AM

4. Find a way to help. Kevin Huerter didn’t have a big scoring night, but that didn’t stop him from being impactful in the game. Huerter dropped in 13 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He even hit 3-of-7 from long range. Solid all around game. – 12:34 AM

Huerter with a huge board and putback. Kings up 127-123. – 12:23 AM
