The NBA G League AT&T Slam Dunk contest will take place on Saturday, Feb. 17, at 2 p.m. CT featuring McGriff and three other participants from the NBA G League. Jordan Jackson (Maine Celtics), Taevion Kinsey (Salt Lake City Stars) and Maozinha Pereira (Mexico City Capitanes) round out the competitor pool for the contest.

The two players with the highest composite scores after the first round move on to the second round, where the time limits and scoring system remain the same. The player with the highest composite score for his two dunks in the final round is crowned the 2024 NBA G League AT&T Slam Dunk champion.
