Wayne Ellington will have slain father on his mind during first NBA All-Star Weekend appearance

Posted Feb 16, 2018
Just hours after arriving here this week, Miami Heat guard Wayne Ellington was in a familiar place. By 7 a.m. Friday, he was on the Staples Center court hoisting up 3-pointers. The early-rise workouts have been a mainstay throughout his career. They are a direct product of his father, Wayne Sr., who always made sure he never forgot to put in extra work.
