(95.7 The Game) - Warriors forward Juan Toscano-Anderson will be among the four high-flyers to compete in the AT&T Slam Dunk competition as part of the NBA's All-Star Weekend in Cleveland, Ohio, on Feb. 19, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Tuesday.
Toscano-Anderson will go up against Knicks forward Obi Toppin, Rockets rookie guard Jalen Green and Magic guard Cole Anthony.
Toscano-Anderson's invitation to the dunk contest was likely signed, sealed, delivered thanks to this thunderous dunk he had over Suns center JaVale McGee in a December contest.
The 28-year-old is looking to join Jason Richardson as the only Warriors to take home the slam-dunk king crown. Richardson won the competition in 2002 and 2003 but came up short in 2004.
Harrison Barnes (2014), and Otis Smith (1988) were the only other Warriors to compete in the contest in franchise history.
NBA All-Star Saturday Night begins at 5 p.m. PT and will be televised on TNT.
