Kyle Korver has declined the NBA’s invitation to participate in the 3-point shooting contest at All-Star weekend this month in New Orleans.

Korver told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he will spend the time with his wife and 1-year-old daughter.

The sharp-shooter extended his NBA-record to 114 games with a 3-pointer in Friday’s 125-99 victory over the 76ers.
