Jordan Clarkson will represent the Lakers in the NBA's All-Star skills challenge in Toronto.
The Lakers' second-year guard will be joined by DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings), Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans), Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors), Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves), Isaiah Thomas (Boston Celtics), C.J. McCollum (Portland Trail Blazers) and Patrick Beverley (Houston Rockets) in the All-Star Saturday night event.
Beverley won the challenge last season. For the first time since its inception in 2003, the skills event will include frontcourt players like Cousins and Davis.
The skills challenge is a "three-round, obstacle-course competition that tests dribbling, passing agility and three-point-shooting skills," according to the NBA's announcement on Thursday.
