Bucks' Damian Lillard to Defend 3-Point Contest Title at All-Star Weekend

Despite a drop in three-point shooting efficiency this season, Lillard, named an All-Star starter for the first time, is set to compete in the contest.

• Damian Lillard, star guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, will compete in the 2024 3-Point Contest during the All-Star Weekend in Indiana, defending his title from last year.
• Lillard's current season three-point shooting percentage is 34.7%, a drop from his 37.1% last season.
• Lillard was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his career, a decision that surprised many fans who expected Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks to be in the lineup.
• Brunson is averaging more points per game than Lillard, but Lillard has a slight edge in rebounds and assists.
• While some fans predict Lillard to lose the 3-Point Contest due to his decreased shooting efficiency, others are excited to see him defend his title.
