Jayson Tatum will participate in the NBA 3-point contest during All-Star weekend, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Kevin Huerter, Tyler Herro, Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons, and Utah’s Lauri Markkanen will round out the field.
Tatum is averaging 3.3 made 3-pointers per game, which is ninth in the NBA. He’s taking a career-high 9.3 threes and his 3-point shooting percentage is a career-low 35.3 percent.
The four-time All-Star finished third in last year’s 3-point contest, behind Stephen Curry and Mike Conley.
Tatum was voted as an All-Star starter for the first time this season.
