However, the 11-year veteran was eliminated in the first round for the second-straight year.<\/p>\n<p>Of the eight names who competed in the shootout this year, only three advance past the first round. Despite scoring 23 points, Powell finished behind Phoenix\u2019s Devin Booker (30), Portland\u2019s Damian Lillard (27) and Charlotte\u2019s Kon Knueppel (27) \u2014 who advanced \u2014 as well as Cleveland\u2019s Donovan Mitchell (24).<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Norman Powell has been eliminated from the first round of the 3-point contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hot Hot Hoops (@hothothoops) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hothothoops\/status\/2022805554247450900?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even though he\u2019s currently recovering from a torn achilles, Lillard evidently took home the crown for the third time in his career.

He\u2019s shooting 47.4 percent from the floor, 39.6 percent from 3-point range and 84.3 percent from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>This is a developing news story.
