The 76ers’ Michael Carter-Williams will pair with Orlando’s Victor Oladipo in the NBA Skills Challenge, which will be contested Saturday, Feb. 15, as a part of All-Star weekend in New Orleans.

For the first time, the competition will feature teams of two in passing, shooting and dribbling stations. The format for the Skills Challenge is as follows: the fastest team from each conference in the first round advances to the championship round, where the same rules apply.

Carter-Williams and Oladipo have an interesting past. Carter-Williams’ Syracuse team ousted Oladipo’s Indiana in the Sweet 16 round of last spring’s NCAA Tournament. A few months later, Oladipo made a game-winning shot with Carter-Williams closely defending him in an Orlando Summer League game. And in December, Carter-Williams and Oladipo became the first rookies to post triple-doubles in the same game while directly competing against one another.

Should make for an interesting pairing in the Skills Challenge.

In related news, Carter-Williams was selected to Team Webber for the Rising Stars Challenge. Former All-Stars Chris Webber and Grant Hill served as general managers, picking teams for the rookie-sophomore game.

On Team Webber, Carter-Williams joins Kelly Olynyk (BOS), Jared Sullinger (BOS), Mason Plumlee (BRK), Tim Hardaway Jr. (NYK), Steven Adams (OKC), Victor Oladipo (ORL), and Trey Burke (UTA).
