Slam dunk contest part of Dr. J event

Heartbroken by the Luka Dončić trade? Need some friendly, feel-good basketball to mend the pain? Benefiting St. Philip’s School & Community Center, the inaugural All-Star 3X3 Basketball Tournament for adult players will tip off Sunday, March 2, from 1-7 p.m. at St. Philip’s Snyder Activity Center. Team registration and spectator tickets are available at stphilips1600.org/destiny/3×3.cfm. The event, presented in partnership with SwinCity League, brings together basketball enthusiasts, community supporters and local legends for a day of fun and friendly competition, plus games, giveaways and kids activities like a slam-dunk contest and dance competition. Tourney proceeds will go directly toward the $1.3 million fundraising goal for St. Philip’s 25th-annual Destiny Award Luncheon on March 6 headlined by NBA great Julius “Dr. J” Erving. — Taylor Mayad Powell
