Minnesota Timberwolves high-flyer Zach LaVine will reportedly be in Toronto for NBA All-Star weekend to defend his Slam Dunk title from a year ago.
The 20-year-old guard will be facing some stiff competition, though, with Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons, Will Barton of the Denver Nuggets, and Aaron Gordon of the Orlando Magic all set to participate, league sources tell Cleveland.com's Chris Haynes.
The NBA could make an official announcement concerning the participants as soon as Thursday.
All-Star Saturday Night goes down Feb. 13 at Air Canada Centre.
