RHENZ Abando is set to participate in the Dunk Contest in the 2023 KBL All-Star on Jan. 15 at Suwon KT Arena.
The Anyang KGC forward, who has dazzled the Korean league with his jaw-dropping slams and emphatic blocks in his first season overseas, faces a stiff competition as the dunkers look to put on a show in front of the fans.

Also part of the field are last year's winner Ha Yun-gi of Suwon KT SonicBoom, and Emmanuel Terry of Seoul Samsung Thunders.
RJ Abarrientos and Ethan Alvano, meanwhile, join the Three-Point Contest.
The two Filipino imports have been exceptional for the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus and Wonju DB Promy, respectively, with their shooting and playmaking.
But Abarrientos and Alvano will have their work cut out for them.
Also competing are the league's top two gunners Jeon Seong-hyun of Goyang Carrot Jumpers and Anyang KGC's Omari Spellman.
Former Phoenix import Lee Gwan-hee of Changwon LG Sakers and Heo Ung of Jeonju KCC Egis are also among the competitors.
