The 2025 Kia Skills Challenge during the All-Star weekend will showcase a diverse lineup of veterans, emerging young stars, and notable figures from the NBA. The league recently announced the composition of the competition, which will feature four teams consisting of two players each.
Among the participating teams are Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama from the San Antonio Spurs, and Draymond Green along with Moses Moody from the Golden State Warriors. Additionally, the rookie team will be represented by Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr. The complete lineup for the Kia Skills Challenge is as follows: Team Cavs: Donovan Mitchell & Evan Mobley, Team Rooks: Zaccharie Risacher & Alex Sarr, Team Spurs: Chris Paul & Victor Wembanyama, Team Warriors: Draymond Green & Moses Moody.
Taking place at the Warriors' Chase Center, this year's Skills Challenge will kick off All-Star Saturday Night, preceding the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest. With the home-court advantage weighing in favor of Green and Moody, their performance will be bolstered by their familiarity with the venue. Last year's champion team featured Myles Turner, Bennedict Mathurin, and Tyrese Haliburton from the Indiana Pacers, who secured the title during an unforgettable event in Indianapolis. However, the competition this year promises to be intense, particularly with Wembanyama's unique skill set for his size and Paul's extensive experience as a leading point guard. Meanwhile, Mitchell and Mobley have significantly contributed to the Cavaliers' prominent standing in the league, boasting the most wins at 41-10. The inclusion of Risacher and Sarr, the two top picks from last year's draft, adds an intriguing dynamic, as they aim to establish their presence on a national level despite still acclimating to their roles within their respective teams.
