Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is a lock to be the Eastern Conference’s starting center in the All-Star Game on Feb. 14, but Howard will not participate in the league’s slam dunk contest on all-star weekend.
The league announced today that the New York Knicks’ Nate Robinson will attempt to defend his title against Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Shannon Brown and either Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan or the Los Angeles Clippers’ Eric Gordon.
The competition will be held Feb. 13 in Dallas at the American Airlines Center.
