There will be no Celtics participating in the Saturday night events of the upcoming all-star weekend. The skills-challenge, dunk contest, and 3-point contest will be Celtic-free.
Payton Pritchard said the league contacted him about participating in the 3-point contest, but ultimately he didn’t feel like it was the right time to commit to the event.
“They had communicated to me a little bit,” Pritchard told reporters in a video posted by CLNS Media. “But I just didn’t think it was the time this year.”
Pritchard is shooting a career-best 42.
