Orlando Magic rookie forward Paolo Banchero will be pulling double duty during All-Star weekend.
The league announced Thursday that Banchero, who’s already competing in Friday’s Rising Stars tournament, also will be a part of Saturday evening’s Skills Challenge.
Banchero will be part of team “Rooks” alongside Houston Rockets rookie forward Jabari Smith and Detroit Pistons rookie guard Jaden Ivey.
The two teams they’ll compete against are the Antetokounmpos (Giannis, Thansis and Alex) and team Jazz (Jordan Clarkson, Walker Kessler and Collin Sexton).
The Skills Challenge is a three-round competition with three teams of three players.
The first round is a team relay in which each player from each team must complete a course involving outlet passing, dribbling through moving pilons and a variety of shorts.
The second round is a passing competition while the third round is a shooting drill.
The team with the most “challenge points” after three rounds will be the champion.
