Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, sidelined all season by a torn Achilles tendon, will participate in the 2026 NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest. The event features eight shooters, including past winners and current league leaders, set for February 14 in Inglewood, California. Lillard aims for a record-tying third title after victories in 2023 and 2024.
Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia has committed $4 million in prizes to boost the NBA's dunk and 3-point contests during the 2027 All-Star Weekend in Phoenix. The pledge, discussed on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show, aims to draw top players by offering $1 million to each winner plus a matching donation to their chosen charity. Ishbia expressed confidence that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver would back the initiative amid criticism of recent events' lack of star power.
