"Keshad Johnson is not a name that many non-Miami Heat fans may know. However, he'll have the opportunity to change that as he prepares to compete in the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest this weekend. The Slam Dunk Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend may not be what it used to be, but despite the lack of big names, it's still one of the biggest lures of the festivities."
"Johnson is a 24-year-old forward out of Arizona, playing in his second season with the Heat. Johnson hasn't played much this season for Miami, but has appeared in 21 games. He's averaging three points and two rebounds on 40 percent shooting from the field. Johnson made his first waves in the NBA with the Heat's G League affiliate, Sioux Falls. Last season, Johnson averaged 15 points, eight rebounds, and three assists on 49 percent shooting from the field."
Keshad Johnson, a 24-year-old forward from Arizona, will compete in the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Weekend alongside Carter Bryant, Jaxson Hayes, and Jase Richardson. Johnson has appeared in 21 games for the Miami Heat this season, averaging three points and two rebounds on 40 percent shooting. He produced strong numbers last season with the Heat's G League affiliate Sioux Falls, averaging 15 points, eight rebounds and three assists on 49 percent shooting, which led to a two-year deal with Miami. Johnson will be a restricted free agent after the season, and a strong Dunk Contest showing could increase offseason interest.
