Glenn Robinson III Named to 2017 Slam Dunk Contest

While Paul George may be a heavy favorite to represent the Indiana Pacers as a reserve in the All Star game next month, the team now has another player that will see action during All-Star Weekend.

Third-year player Glenn Robinson III has been selected to participate in the 2017 Slam Dunk contest. The news comes via Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical. While it is not fully clear as to who else will be featured in the event, expect Robinson to compete with the Orlando Magic’s Aaron Gordon at the very least. Zach Lavine — last year’s winner of the contest — is expected to not participate in the contest this time around.
