Here are the participants in the 2025 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, including Stephon Castle

During the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend festivities in San Francisco, the NBA Slam Dunk Contest will feature some young talent in the league.

Among the headliners reported so far include Stephon Castle (San Antonio Spurs), Matas Buzelis (Chicago Bulls), and Andre Jackson Jr. (Milwaukee Bucks).

Castle and Buzelis were both recent lottery picks in the 2024 NBA Draft.

During his one-and-done season in the NCAA last season, Castle won a national championship at UConn. Jackson, who will compete against Jackson in the dunk contest, also won a national title at UConn. But the two were not teammates as Jackson turned pro a season prior.

We can expect one more player to join these three to finalize the lineup for the festivities.

Castle (25) has recorded more dunks than Buzelis (18) and Jackson (11) so far this season, per Stathead.
