Karl-Anthony Towns set to participate in All-Star Weekend 3-Point Contest

Karl-Anthony Towns has a busy Cleveland weekend coming up on his schedule.

The former Kentucky Wildcat turned three-time NBA All-Star will participate in the 2022 MTN DEW 3-Point Contest at this year’s NBA All-Star Weekend. Towns, who was named to the event for the first time in his career, is one of eight sharpshooters who will battle for bragging rights as the league’s top outside shooter.

During the 2021-22 season, Towns has shot 40.9 percent from beyond the arc on 5.3 attempts per outing in 47 games played. Over his seven-year career with the Minnesota Timberwolves, KAT has hit 39.
