The final slot in the 2020 NBA Slam Dunk Contest has been reportedly filled by Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton. 

Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Connaughton accepted the NBA's invite Monday. Aaron Gordon, Dwight Howard and Derrick Jones Jr. previously committed to the Feb. 15 event.

The dunk contest has been limited to four participants each of the last five years. Barring an unexpected change, that should finalize the field—and serve as a disappointment to fans who wanted a Gordon-Zach LaVine rematch.

Connaughton, 27, will be participating in the dunk contest for the first time. He's the only first-time participant, with Gordon, Howard and Jones each having competed before. Howard is the only previous winner in the field, but the 34-year-old is 11 years removed from his last dunk contest.

Gordon and LaVine put together one of the best head-to-head matchups in dunk contest history in 2016, which finished in a controversial victory for the high-flying guard. Gordon returned a year later hoping to get his first dunk contest win but finished in last place; Jones made it to the final round of that contest but lost to Glenn Robinson III.

Connaughton, meanwhile, is one of the league's most athletic players you'll rarely see on a list of "most athletic players" among fans. The Notre Dame product says he relishes in disproving the expectations about him. 

"I actually like the stereotypes, because I can disprove them. In today's day and age, political correctness and stereotypes are kind of unspoken truths, if you will," Connaughton told Martenzie Johnson of The Undefeated. "From time to time, people don't want to talk about them and they're not always true, but they're just kind of the way it is. So to be able to be a part of, you know, a small group that can disprove a stereotype like 'White men can't jump,' I think is pretty cool.

"If you do work hard, it doesn't really matter who you are, where you're from, what box people try to place you in. You can kind of get out of that box. You can accomplish what you want to with some hard work, with some dedication."

Connaughton will now get a chance to shatter the notions about his athleticism on the NBA's biggest stage.
