Former Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is putting his hat back in the ring.
The Milwaukee Bucks point guard is looking to defend his title at this month’s 3-Point Contest, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Sources: Among the commitments for the NBA Three-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis:
Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard and Malik Beasley, New York’s Jalen Brunson and Utah’s Lauri Markkanen.
This is the fourth time Lillard has competed in the event. In 2014, Lillard’s second season and first All-Star Game appearance, the decorated Blazer became the first player in NBA history to participate in every event — the Rising Stars Game (1), the Skills Challenge (2), the Three-Point Contest (3), the Slam Dunk Contest (4), and the All-Star Game (5) to finish.
