NEW YORK (AP) -The final contestant in the slam dunk competition will have to earn his way in.
The NBA announced Wednesday the creation of the “All-Star Slam Dunk-In” to determine the fourth contestant in the event.
Two players will compete at halftime of the rookie challenge on Friday, Feb. 12. The winner, chosen by votes on NBA.com or through text messaging, will claim a spot in the marquee event of All-Star Saturday night, to be held this year in Dallas.
The dunk-in participants will be announced Thursday night during TNT’s pregame coverage.
