Lillard, Booker headline 3-Point Contest field
The field for the 2026 State Farm 3-Point Contest was announced by the NBA on Sunday.
Two-time winner Damian Lillard is the headliner with former champion Devin Booker also in a star-studded field that includes five 2026 All-Stars.
Lillard - who can match Larry Bird and Craig Hodgers' record with a third victory - hasn't played for the Portland Trail Blazers this year after rupturing his left Achilles tendon during the first round of last season's playoffs as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Joining Lillard and Booker are Tyrese Maxey, Donovan Mitchell, Jamal Murray, Bobby Portis Jr., and Norman Powell.
The eighth participant is Charlotte Hornets forward Kon Knueppel who has a chance to become the first rookie to win the event.
The 3-Point Contest goes on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 5:00 p.m. ET.
