Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard captured the title at the 2026 NBA 3-Point Contest, delivering an impressive performance during All-Star weekend.

Lillard secured the win in the final round by scoring 29 points, finishing ahead of Devin Booker and Kon Knueppel.

Booker placed second after posting a strong 27-point round but ultimately fell just short of Lillard’s total.

After the competition, Lillard shared his appreciation toward the NBA for allowing him to participate even though he has not appeared in a game this season.

The veteran guard is currently recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered during last year’s playoffs when he was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, and continues to work through rehabilitation as he prepares for his eventual return to the court.
