Kyle Kuzma was among the eight participants named to the 2019 Taco Bell Skills Challenge, which will take play Feb. 16, otherwise known as All-Star Saturday Night, at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C.
The Los Angeles Lakers second-year forward will be joined by Mike Conley (Memphis Grizzlies), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks), De’Aaron Fox (Sacramento Kings), Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), Nikola Vucevic (Orlando Magic) and Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks).
Reigning champion Spencer Dinwiddie (Brooklyn Nets) is unable to defend his title due to injury. For Kuzma, it adds to what figures to be a busy weekend as he was also named to the Rising Stars Challenge for a second consecutive year.
