Damian Lillard to Compete in Three-Point Contest
This past Sunday evening, the NBA announced that Damian Lillard, a two-time champion of the three-point contest, will be participating at the All-Star Weekend. The news came as a surprise, given that Lillard has been out for the season due to an Achilles tendon rupture.
Despite his injury, the Portland Trail Blazers star is determined to demonstrate that he hasn’t lost his legendary shooting touch. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Lillard can reclaim his crown on the court in Los Angeles.
Participants Join Lillard in the Contest
Joining Lillard in the competition will be Kon Knueppel, representing the Charlotte Hornets, alongside a strong lineup from the league. Other confirmed contestants include Devin Booker (Suns), Tyrese Maxey (Sixers), Donovan Mitchell (Cavaliers), Jamal Murray (Nuggets), Bobby Portis (Bucks), and Norman Powell (Heat).
As the excitement mounts, the question remains: who will take home the victory this year?
