The NBA announced on Saturday morning that rookie Jase Richardson and second-year pro Keshad Johnson will join Jaxson Hayes and Carter Bryant in the competition next Saturday. Richardson, the son of former Warrior Jason Richardson, will look to have the same kind of success as his pops in the hallowed event as a rookie for the Magic. The elder Richardson won back-to-back dunk contests in the early-2000s, but is best known for being a part of the iconic We Believe Warriors.
Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes and San Antonio Spurs rookie Carter Bryant have accepted invitations to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
