NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets

The Dunk Contest has been an absolute snooze fest in the past few years but maybe this young rookie can brighten it up.  According to his father, Andrew Wiggins will compete in this year’s dunk contest during All Star weekend.

The Minnesota Timberwolves haven’t been playing too well but Andrew Wiggins has been dazzling us with his high-flying dunks.

This isn’t official but Hoops Hype Canada says Wiggins will take part according to his father.

For the record, the All-Star Saturday Dunk Contest will take place Saturday night, Feb. 14, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. (Friday and Saturday night’s events are in Brooklyn, only Sunday’s game itself is at MSG). His teammate Zach LaVine should be in the mix with him for the Dunk Contest. With those two it will be a real show.
