Damian Lillard is set to make a surprising return by participating in the 3-point contest on All-Star Saturday. He hasn't played this season due to a torn Achilles. The NBA announced the contest will kick off the event, following NBC's coverage of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Lillard will compete against past champion Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, Norman Powell, Kon Knueppel, Tyrese Maxey, Bobby Portis Jr. and Jamal Murray. If Lillard wins, he'll join Larry Bird and Craig Hodges as a three-time winner. The event will be held at the Los Angeles Clippers’ home, with the Shooting Stars and dunk contest following.
