Devin Booker, guard for the Phoenix Suns, has been named a participant in the State Farm 3-Point Contest during the 2026 NBA All-Star events. The contest will occur on Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, where Booker will showcase his shooting skills among other top sharpshooters.
Booker’s Experience and Career Highlights in 3-Point Shooting
This marks Booker’s fifth appearance in the NBA 3-Point Contest, having previously competed in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Notably, he secured the title in 2018. Over his career, Booker has become the Suns’ all-time leader in three-point field goals, surpassing Steve Nash during the 2022-23 season with a total of 1,495 triples.
On a broader scale, Booker stands 59th in NBA history for career three-pointers made. He is also distinguished as one of only two players—including Klay Thompson—to hit at least 99 three-pointers in each of their first ten NBA seasons.
Current Season Performance and NBA All-Star Selection
In the ongoing season, Booker is averaging 25.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 4 rebounds per game. His shooting percentages include 45.6% from the field, 30.7% from beyond the arc, and an 86.5% free-throw rate. In addition to the 3-Point Contest, Booker has earned a selection as a reserve for the 2026 NBA All-Star game scheduled for February 15.
Significance of Booker’s Participation and Outlook
Booker’s return to the 3-Point Contest highlights his sustained reputation as one of the league’s premier shooters, bringing experience and competitiveness to the event. His steady performance both in this season and historically positions him as a respected figure in NBA shooting competitions. Fans and analysts will watch closely to see if Booker can add another contest title to his achievements.
“It will mark Booker’s fifth time competing in the 3-point contest at NBA All-Star, having also participated in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020. In 2018, he won the 3-point contest title.” – AZFamily
