MM 2.16: Former Maryland standout Kevin Huerter to participate in NBA Three-Point Contest
This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Former Maryland men’s basketball star and current Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter was selected to participate in the 2023 Starry 3-Point Contest as a part of the NBA’s all-star weekend, it was announced Tuesday.
Huerter is having a breakout season in Sacramento, averaging career highs in points per game (14.8) and three-point shooting percentage (38.9 percent). Huerter, who starred at Maryland for two seasons from 2016-18, called it a “goal of his” to take part in the competition.
During his time in College Park, the No. 19 overall selection in the 2018 NBA Draft was named an All-Big Ten honorable mention in his sophomore season. That year, he knocked down 73 3-pointers, the fifth-best single-season mark in program history.
Huerter has helped the Kings, who currently sit in third place in the Western Conference, to an impressive season.
The NBA Three-Point Contest is set for this Saturday night, Feb. 18.
