As part of the Wizards’ continued effort to recognize, honor and celebrate members of the military community, the team will host an NBA All-Star weekend-inspired event with a skills competition, three-point contest and “All-Star” game.

The “All-Star” game will be coached by Wizards alumni Michael Adams and Harvey Grant. Adams and Grant will also participate in one of the skills competitions.
