Salt Lake City — Khris Middleton is facing a mission impossible or at least improbable.
But the Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard is glad to accept, thank you.
Middleton was named Thursday to take part in the Foot Locker three-point shooting contest as part of the NBA's all-star weekend in Toronto.
The defending champion is none other than the out-of-this-world shooter, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Curry will be back looking to repeat his title at the Air Canada Centre on Feb. 13 as part of All-Star Saturday night, to be televised on TNT.
