This year’s dunk contest will take place at halftime of the All-Star Game on March 7
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons and Indiana Pacers rookie Cassius Stanley are expected to join New York Knicks rookie Obi Toppin in the slam dunk contest, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday.
The NBA is continuing a recent trend of highlighting some of the league’s younger players in the contest, with the 21-year-old Simons competing alongside two rookies. This year’s dunk contest will take place at halftime of the All-Star Game on March 7.
The center, selected by Utah with the 28th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, returns to the franchise where he spent the first three seasons of his career.
Golden State has parted ways with the three players, bringing its roster to 18 ahead of the start of the 2026-27 NBA season.
The Texas franchise has parted ways with the two guards following four and three preseason games, respectively.
The Wisconsin franchise has announced the release of the three players ahead of the start of the regular season.
New York has waived the veteran guard but could consider bringing him back in December, when NBA contracts become prorated.
