Giannis, Damian Lillard among All-Star Saturday participants

Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo is teaming up with his brothers once again on All-Star Saturday. Portland's Damian Lillard is taking a third shot at the 3-point title, which Indiana's Buddy Hield will aim to win again, and Philadelphia's Mac McClung now can be a slam dunk champion at the NBA and high school levels.
