The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend kicked off Friday with the celebrity game and Rising Stars Challenge.
The second-ever NBA HBCU Classic game between Grambling State and Southern opened Saturday’s action. Then, Milwaukee Bucks star Jrue Holiday filled in for injured team captain Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was slated to once again team up with his brothers — Thanasis and Alex — in the skills challenge. The hometown Utah Jazz trio of Jordan Clarkson, Jabari Smith Jr. and Collin Sexton cruised to victory.
Up next, Damian Lillard, who went to college outside of Salt Lake City, secured another win for Utah by coming out on top in the 3-point contest.
Lastly, Mac McClung, who won a high school dunk contest in 2018, is on the hunt to win at the NBA level.
Here’s the top moments from All-Star Weekend:
