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.
Wizards in-game personality Britt Waters, along with the Wizards Dancers and DJ Heat will entertain military personnel and their families. Those in attendance will have the chance to win Wizards branded items, and a t-shirt toss will take place during the “All-Star” game.
