Nate Robinson may not get to become the NBA’s first three-time slam dunk champion.

Robinson is considering pulling out of Saturday’s featured event at All-Star Weekend in Dallas due to a strained left groin. The veteran guard was expected to make his decision following Tuesday night’s 118-114 loss to Sacramento. The Knicks don’t play again until Tuesday in Chicago.

“If he was hurt and it would hurt him to go into the dunk contest I would want to know that,” said Knicks president Donnie Walsh. “But normally it’s a big honor to be invited. He’s a defending champion. So I’d like to see him be able to go. But I also want to use him for the rest of the year. I think (him not wanting to hurt himself) shows responsibility to the team.”
