CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving will participate in the NBA's Three-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend on Feb. 14 in New York, a league source informed Northeast Ohio Media Group.

The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because the league has yet to officially announce the names of those in the field.

Irving, 22, will also make his third All-Star game appearance on Feb. 15. The fourth-year guard won the deep-ball event in 2013.

This season he is shooting 41 percent from three and is 13th in the league with 97 threes made. Last week in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers he nailed a franchise-record 11 threes on his way to a career-high 55 points.

After the game Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard said he's one of the best shooters in the league.

"He has an all-around game, but he can shoot that ball," Lillard told NEOMG. "He doesn't get a lot of credit for that aspect of his game but he can stroke it."

Golden State's Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, Portland's Wesley Matthews, Atlanta's Kyle Korver, Los Angeles Clippers' J.J. Redick and defending champion Marco Belinelli of San Antonio are others reportedly taking part in the three-point shootout.

In 49 games, Irving is averaging 21.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists.
