Shrugging off his ongoing Achilles rehabilitation, Lillard went off to clinch his third 3-Point Contest crown.
Damian Lillard emerged victorious on Saturday, clinching the NBA 3-Point Contest in a sensational display.
The Portland Trail Blazers star racked up 29 points in the final round and finished the shootout over Devin Booker (27) and Kon Knueppel (17).
He clinched his third 3-Point contest crown, joining Larry Bird and Craig Hodges as the only players in league history to win thrice in the event.
In an unprecedented event as well, he won this year's 3-Point shootout despite not appearing in any game yet this 2025-26 season. Lillard notably suffered from a torn Achilles injury in last year's NBA Playoffs.
