He previously won it in 2015 and lost to former teammate Klay Thompson in 2016. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2026\/02\/14\/damian-lillard-makes-it-rain-wins-a-record-tying-3rd-nba-3-point-contest-title\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland native Damian Lillard<\/a> \u2014 in his first competition since returning to the Portland Trail Blazers \u2014 won his third 3-point title on Saturday night amid his rehab from a torn Achilles suffered in the playoffs last year with Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p>Lillard is now tied with Larry Bird and Craig Hodges for the NBA\u2019s all-time lead in 3-point contest wins. Perhaps his win Saturday night spurred a competitive reaction from Curry, who said he\u2019d try to talk Thompson into joining him and Lillard in the shootout a year from now.<\/p>\n<p>As he has missed the Warriors\u2019 last five games with runner\u2019s knee, Curry was ruled out this week from Sunday\u2019s All-Star action, which included round-robin series of games between two U.S. teams and one World team.<\/p>\n<p>Curry, a 12-time All-Star and the NBA\u2019s all-time leader in 3-pointers, is expected to return to the Warriors\u2019 lineup soon after the All-Star break ends. Golden State\u2019s next game is Thursday against the Boston Celtics (7 p.m., NBC Sports Bay Area\/Prime Video).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steph Curry did not compete in the All-Star festivities this weekend at Inglewood\u2019s Intuit Dome due to a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":605506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3775],"tags":[7,103,164,155,165,102,121,3871,6,66,932],"class_list":{"0":"post-605505","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-bucks","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-bucks","10":"tag-golden-state-warriors","11":"tag-inside-sports","12":"tag-latest-headlines","13":"tag-milwaukee","14":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","15":"tag-milwaukeebucks","16":"tag-nba","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-steph-curry"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116077760588905589","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/605506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=605505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=605505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
