Avtodor guard Maxim Kolyushkin will replace Khimki guard Viacheslav Zaitcev in the Slam Dunk Contest, which will be held during the All Star Game.
Per Khimki’s press service, Zaitcev is having trouble with his back.
– I know that Slava Zaitcev can’t compete in the Slam Dunk Contest, – said Maxim Kolyushkin. – But we don’t leave each other hanging! I’ll try to replace him and show what I can do. I’m happy to be in Sochi for the All Star Game. It’s a big deal for Russian basketball.
