"INGLEWOOD, Ca -- Stephen Curry will make his return to the 3-point competition next year in Phoenix, he announced on NBC Sunday afternoon. Perhaps buoyed by seeing fellow veteran Damian Lillard win the contest in Los Angeles, Curry made the announcement during the All-Star game, where he's out with a knee injury. Curry added that he would try to convince former teammate Klay Thompson to join him in the contest."
"Curry won the contest most recently in 2021 in Atlanta, the last time he participated in the event, and also in 2015 in New York. Thompson won in 2016 in Toronto. Lillard became the third player to win three 3-point contents on Saturday, a feat Curry could achieve as well with another victory. Curry is the all-time leader in 3-pointers made and has led the league in 3-pointers made eight times in his career. This season, he's shooting 39.1 percent from 3-point range."
