Robert Covington is set to compete in the Skills Challenge, sources told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated.
The NBA will use All-Star Weekend to highlight Historically Black College and Universities. Covington, a graduate of Tennessee State, is the only player from an HBCU in the NBA.
The NBA and NBPA have committed more than $2.5 million in a fund to support HBCUs, as well as raising awareness around issues like equity and access to COVID-19 vaccines.
