Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan will replace Bucks guard Brandon Jennings in the 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend dunk contest, NBA.com reports.

Jennings has missed 14 games with a broken left foot and could return within the next two weeks, but because the contest heightens his risk of aggravating the injury, DeRozan will take his spot. Jennings suffered his injury on Dec. 15.

DeRozan was the runner-up in last season's dunk contest. Like Jennings, he is a native of Compton, California, bringing some local flavor to the Los Angeles All-Star Weekend.

Previously, DeRozan won the 2008 McDonald's All-American dunk contest.
