The rookie forward certainly showed off his leaping ability this season and should be a strong contender to win the dunk contest. He’s even impressed his teammate Victor Wembanyama.
During the offseason, he showed just how powerful a dunker he is at Olin Simplis’ summer camp.
Let’s just hope he doesn’t whiff on the dunks as he hilariously did this season.
The Spurs will be well represented during All-Star festivities.
Carter will join Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, David Jones Garcia and possibly Mitch Johnson and the coaching staff during All-Star Weekend 2026.
And in case you are wondering, Castle has said he will not return to the dunk contest after participating last season.
