Not Jalen Duren in the dunk contest
In the end, there will be no All-Stars Slam dunk contest. Announced in a while, Jalen Duren in the end, he is not part of a group of four players who will try to make it Mac McClung.
However, ESPN recently reported that he has accepted the league’s invitation, but has been injured in his knee in recent days and may have decided not to push it. So these are Jackson Hayes (LA Lakers), Carter Bryant (spurs), Jase Richardson (Magic) et Keshad Johnson (Heat) who will compete for the title of “king of dunks”.
Clearly, this is not the most attractive casting for the general public…
In addition, the NBA announced the return of “Shooting Stars,” a team-specific shooting game that has been missing from the All-Star Weekend program for more than a decade.
Participants are divided into four teams, without a general theme. there The All-Star team regroups Scotty Barnes, Chet Holmgren etc Rip Hamilton ; the Tim Cameron fellow Duke alumni, Jaylen Johnson, Conn Knueppel etc Corey Maggette ; the Team Harper reunites the Harper family, Ron and his sons; and the Team Knicks gathers players from New York, Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns etc Allan Houston.
