Boston Celtics sophomore wing Jayson Tatum has been invited to participate in the Skills Challenge of All Star Weekend.
Tatum, also asked to participate in the Rising Stars Challenge, will join five other current or former Celtics as participants in the Skills Challenge (Al Horford, Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving, Isaiah Thomas and Rajon Rondo have all participated in the challenge in the past), though a Boston player has yet to win it.
For the unfamiliar, the challenge consists of two players facing off on identical courses over three stages.
