NEW YORK (AP) -- Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverley will replace Washington Wizards guard John Wall in the All-Star skills challenge.
The skills challenge will be held Saturday night at Barclays Center as part of the NBA All-Star weekend in New York. Two players will compete simultaneously on an identical obstacle-course that tests dribbling, passing, agility and shooting skills.
The league announced Tuesday that Beverley will be paired against the Phoenix Suns' Isaiah Thomas in the eight-player challenge. Beverley is averaging 10.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in his third NBA season with the Rockets.
The defending skills challenge champion is Trey Burke of the Utah Jazz.
The All-Star game will be held Sunday at Madison Square Garden.

one of the tiest compe ions in sports history tbh
right after the compe ion where they bring in old retired mummies and women to shoot 50+ times from half court![]()
Watching those old ers throw up airballs has become more entertaining that the Slam Dunk Contest tbh.
Can someone please tell me what "skills" African Beverly has besides hacking and an occasional 3-pointer?
Getting lit up by s like DJ Augustin and playing overrated defense.
yeah but you'd think they could think of more entertaining compe ions given the personnel at their disposal
These are the same idiots that couldn't get a game of Horse right or make it watchable.
They just need to skip all the other crap, go back to the classic styles for both the 3-pt Contest and Dunk Contest, and introduce a 1on1 or 2on2 tournament.
Was Beverly invited to play defense on the other entrants?

So they're letting anyone in these days, shame.
