Jalen Brunson, Lillard and All Contestants Revealed for 2025 NBA 3-Point Contest

Damian Lillard will get a shot at a third straight three-Point Contest title.

The Milwaukee Bucks star was one of eight contestants named to the 2025 edition of the All-Star Weekend competition Friday by the NBA.

Lillard will be joined by the New York Knicks' Jalen Brunson, Detroit Pistons' Cade Cunningham, Cleveland Cavaliers' Darius Garland, Miami Heat's Tyler Herro, Golden State Warriors' Buddy Hield, Brooklyn Nets' Cam Johnson and Los Angeles Clippers' Norman Powell.

Lillard won his first 3-Point title by beating out Hield and Tyrese Haliburton in a three-contestant final round of the 2023 contest.

The following year, he became the first back-to-back winner since Jason Kapono in 2008 by beating out Trae Young and 2022 three-point champ Karl Anthony-Towns on a contest-winning final shot.

The 2024 All-Star event was a big weekend for Lillard, who put up 11 more three-pointers during the 2024 All-Star Game to earn All-Star MVP honors in the Eastern Conference win.

To defend his 3-Point title in 2024, Lillard will have to go up against some of the hottest shooters in the league next weekend in San Francisco.

Herro, who currently ranks third in the NBA in three-pointers made, is scoring on 39.3 percent of his career-high 9.7 three-point attempts per game through 48 contests this season.

Powell, who was not named to an All-Star roster despite averaging career-best 23.9 points per game so far this season, leads all 3-Point Contest competitors with a 43.1 percent success rate from deep.

Garland has meanwhile shot a career-best 42.9 percent from behind the arc so far this season, while Johnson is averaging a personal-best 19.3 points per game.

The NBA made the somewhat surprising decision to select Cunningham, who is shooting 35.4 percent from deep, over his Pistons teammate Malik Beasley, who trails only Anthony Edwards for the NBA lead in three-pointers made.

Hield, who won the event while representing the Sacramento Kings in 2020, is the only past winner to join Lillard in the competition. Brunson, meanwhile, heads into the contest looking for redemption after a first-round elimination from the 2024 event.

The 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend is scheduled for Feb. 14-16 at the Warriors' Chase Center in San Francisco. The 2025 3-Point Contest will take place on Saturday, Feb. 15.
