While they may not have an All-Star, Sacramento Kings fans will have plenty to watch for as De’Aaron Fox has reportedly decided to take part in the Skills Challenge.

The Sacramento Kings will have at least two representatives present during All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, as De’Aaron Fox has reportedly decided to participate in this year’s Skills Challenge, according to Yahoo’s Chris Haynes. This, of course, follows news that broke a couple of weeks ago that Sacramento Kings Guard Buddy Hield will take part in this year’s Three-Point Contest.

The All-Star Skills Challenge will be held on Feb. 16 in Charlotte, North Carolina. During the Skills Challenge, players are tasked with running through an obstacle course to test ball-handling, passing and shooting. The tournament features eight players in a knockout-format that was won by Brooklyn Nets Guard Spencer Dinwiddie last season.

Also, according to The Athletics Shams Charnia, Dallas Mavericks rookie sensation Luka Doncic will also be competing. While Doncic might be an early favorite due to his well-rounded skill-set, Fox could very well wind up with a win as well. Fox, who’s one of the game’s fastest players, currently averages 7.3 assists per game rank, which is good enough for seventh in the NBA and is shooting 36.9 percent from deep as well.
