As of Tuesday evening, the participants for the All-Star game, skills challenge, 3-point contest and slam dunk contest have been announced by the league.

The game and all contests have been compressed into a one-night affair taking place Sunday at State Farm Arena. Although it’s taking place on their home court, though, the Hawks won’t have a player participating, unless some kind of injury substitution is necessary.

Participants for the skills challenge: Robert Covington, Luka Doncic, Chris Paul, Julius Randle, Domantas Sabonis, Nikola Vucevic

Participants for the 3-point contest: Devin Booker, Jaylen Brown, Stephen Curry, Zach LaVine, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum

Participants for the slam-dunk contest: Anfernee Simons, Cassius Stanley, Obi Toppin.

For the All-Star game, in addition to the Eastern Conference’s five starters (Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Bradley Beal and Kylie Irving), the reserves are: Brown, Tatum, James Harden, LaVine, Randle, Ben Simmons and Vucevic. Trae Young was a candidate to be an All-Star reserve, but didn’t make the cut.

The Western Conference’s five starters are: LeBron James, Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Curry and Kawhi Leonard. The reserves are: Anthony Davis, Paul George, Rudy Gobert, Mitchell, Damian Lillard, Paul and Zion Williamson.
