NBA 2026 All-Star Dunk Contest participants revealed

Jase Richardson and Keshad Johnson are confirmed as participants for the 2026 NBA All-Star Dunk Contest, along with Carter Bryant and Jaxson Hayes.

The 2026 NBA All-Star Game is entering its final phase of preparation as the best players in the world are ready to meet on February 14th at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

A few days ago, two of the participants for the Dunk Contest were confirmed, with San Antonio Spurs' rookie center Carter Bryant and Los Angeles Lakers' center Jaxson Hayes joining the field.

This afternoon, the NBA revealed the other two participants in the contest, and both players hail from Florida franchises.

Orlando Magic's rookie guard Jase Richardson and Miami Heat's sophomore forward Keshad Johnson will be present at the contest.

Along with the Dunk Contest, All-Star Saturday is reserved for the Shooting Stars Contest and the 3PT Contest, for which participants have not yet been confirmed.

For the first time in three years, Mac McClung won't be present at the competition.

McClung made history in last year's edition, becoming the first player to win three Dunk Contests in a row.
