The Golden State Warriors star made this announcement prior to Sunday’s All-Star Game held at the Intuit Dome, highlighting his intent to add to his previous achievements in the event.
Career Highlights and Recent Competition Landscape
Damian Lillard recently claimed his third title at the 2026 3-Point Contest, joining legends Larry Bird and Craig Hodges with multiple wins.

His goal now is to become a three-time champion, officially confirming his scheduled return.

Stephen Curry’s Past Performances in the Contest
Curry has competed in seven 3-Point Contests since his debut, with a record that includes two titles, three runner-up finishes in 2010, 2016, and 2019, as well as early exits in 2013 and 2014. Despite these ups and downs, his skill and consistency have made him one of the most respected shooters to participate in the event.
Overcoming Injuries and Maintaining Elite Status
Although sidelined since April due to a torn Achilles, Damian Lillard’s recent victory added to his championships in 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile, Curry, known as the greatest shooter in NBA history due to his record for most three-pointers made, is motivated by the desire to uphold his legacy and reputation.
Currently, Curry is a 12-time All-Star and was voted as a starter this season, but a lingering right knee injury prevented him from playing in this year’s All-Star Game. During the 2025-26 regular season, Curry has averaged 27.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game, demonstrating his continued impact on the court.
Looking Ahead to 2027 and Beyond
Stephen Curry’s confirmation to return for the 2027 3-Point Contest signifies his commitment to remaining a competitive force among shooting specialists. His participation promises to raise excitement for future All-Star Weekends and reflects his ongoing pursuit to cement his status as one of the greatest shooters the NBA has ever seen.
