The Nets held onto Cam Johnson through the trade deadline. Now he’ll be their only representative at All-Star weekend, when he takes part in the 3-point contest.
“Sean [Marks, general manager] pulled me aside the other day and said that they invited me to do it, so it’s an honor,” Johnson said. “I watched the 3-point contest growing up and always imagined being out there, so it’ll be pretty cool. I’m excited.”
One wonders what Johnson thought when Marks went to take him aside, considering he’s been the subject of constant trade rumors almost all season. But after getting past Thursday’s deadline, now Johnson goes up against the league’s top shooters Saturday at Chase Center (8 p.m., TNT).
