There is a noticeable lack of star talent in the 2025 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. While there are some high-flyers in the field, including back-to-back reigning dunk contest champion Mac McClung as well as Andre Jackson Jr. and rookies Stephon Castle and Matas Buzelis, the lack of a big name in the pool is a bit disappointing—albeit not too surprising.

This season, the NBA's All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, as well as the Kia Skills Challenge and the Starry 3-point Contest, will air on TNT and truTV as part of All-Star Saturday Night. These channels are all available on platforms like DirecTV, Sling, and Hulu + Live TV, as well as on Max.
