According to Wojo, it's going to be Lavine and not Wiggins in the contest. I thought Andrew said he was in:

Re: Slam Dunk Roster
I'm almost glad Wiggins isn't doing it. With the Curse of the Wolves, I'd be worried he blow out a knee or something. We need to keep him in bubble wrap when he's not playing games.

Yeah it doesn't break my heart either. Besides, who would want to get shown up by your teammate. IMO Zach is going to dominate this.

Re: Slam Dunk Roster
Yeah, when news broke the other day about Wiggins participating in it, I was happy because I'd want him to win. It'd be one of those "future star player, ROY adds dunk contest winner to resume" type things. In the same way that LeBron never competed, Wiggins would be different. I hope I'm getting my point across.
And then I thought about how LaVine's going to crush everyone who throws their name in the hat, including Wiggins had it been in there. Zach was born not to just win dunk contests, but absolutely put on a show that not many can reproduce.

I believe it was reported that his dad claimed he was going to be in it. It would definitely be fun to see Wiggins & Lavine both in it, but I won't be sad if he isn't. It would be fun to watch some of the young Wolves in the futures game.

Yeah, we get to see Wiggins and Dieng on the World team. Maybe LaVine gets on the USA team. Would have been cool to see LaVine and Bazz on team USA and Wiggins and Dieng on World going against each other.
Re: Slam Dunk Roster
Im fine with wiggins not being in it and lavine being in. Lavine is going to win this. He is better suited in a dunk contest than wiggins is. Despite our losing record, we will end the season with the rookie of the year(wiggins). The slam dunk champ(lavine) and mip candidate(bazz).
