The NBA dropped the participants for the 3-point contest at the 2026 All-Star game in Los Angeles on Sunday, and to the surprise of many Devin Booker made the cut.

His inclusion overshadowed by Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, who hasn't played this season due to injury but is clearly good to hoist up some shots on the night.

Booker entering despite 3-point struggles this season

Although Booker has actually won this competition in the past, he did so at a time when he was shooting 38.3 percent from deep back in 2018. To date that is tied for a career high from beyond the arc for the 29-year-old.
