NEW YORK – Kyle Kuzma’s talents will be on display in the 2019 Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday Night, on Feb. 16 at 5pm PT at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Skills Challenge is a three-round, obstacle-course competition that tests dribbling, passing, agility and three-point-shooting skills.
