Wayne Ellington officially named a participant in All-Star 3-point contest

Posted Feb 2, 2018
The reaction from Heat guard Wayne Ellington was so fitting. When he learned a few days ago he had been selected to compete in the 3-point contest during NBA All-Star Weekend, coach Erik Spoelstra told him to keep it a secret. Ellington didn’t tell anyone for nearly a week. It became official when the NBA announced Thursday he was one of the participants. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
