The Indiana Pacers confirmed the rumors tonight: Victor Oladipo will participate in the NBA’s Dunk Contest during All-Star weekend.
Oladipo, the first-time All Star, will defend the Pacers reigning dunk title as Glenn Robinson III will be unable to do so himself as he continues to make strides in his rehab from ankle surgery.
The other participants will be Aaron Gordon, Dennis Smith Jr. and Larry Nance Jr.
Oladipo has been in a dunk contest before when he did a 540 and finished in second.
