After losing to Tyler Herro (ribs) in 2025, Lillard won his third 3-Point Contest in four years. The star point guard posted 27 points in the first round and 29 in the second, beating Booker by two and Knueppel by 12 in the final round. Lillard is still recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon he sustained with the Bucks in the opening round of the playoffs last season, and he'll hope to return to action for Portland by the start of the 2026-27 campaign.
