The participants for the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend festivities are official.
On Tuesday, Feb. 14, the NBA announced who will be participating in the Slam Dunk Contest, 3-Point Contest and Skills Challenge.
While the Slam Dunk Contest doesn't have the star power we're used to seeing, high flyers like Kenyon Martin Jr. and Mac McClung will be worth watching. The 3-Point Contest will have plenty of familiar faces, with All-Stars like Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard and Tyrese Haliburton set to fire away.
For a look at the complete list of participants, we have you covered below.
