Dennis Smith Jr. has decided to compete in this year's dunk contest after finishing runner-up in last year's event.

Smith said in September that he had no interest doing the event after receiving a low score for his first dunk and felt that props and gimmicks had taken over the contest. Smith didn't use any props for his dunks last year. 

"The gimmicks and everything that go with it, I'm not with it," said Smith.

He added that a discussion with his grandmother changed his mind. 

After getting voted as an All-Star captain, Giannis Antetokounmpo said he wants to bring Joel Embiid and Russell Westbrook together on the same team.

Embiid and Westbrook had a minor scuffle towards the end of the Thunder's 117-115 win over the Sixers last weekend. Westbrook said afterwards that he and Embiid were "not cool".
