Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has been on the bench all season long, recovering from his torn Achilles he suffered last season while playing with the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, Lillard can't be kept down for too long as he is a surprise inclusion in the All-Star Weekend's Three-Point Contest.

Lillard to Participate in Three-Point Contest

Lillard will join Devin Booker (Suns), Kon Knueppel (Hornets), Tyrese Maxey (76ers), Donovan Mitchell (Cavaliers), Jamal Murray (Nuggets), Bobby Portis Jr. (Bucks), and Norman Powell (Heat) in the field in hopes of winning his third title in the event.

All-Star Saturday Night is scheduled for 2 p.m. PT. Fans can watch on NBC or stream it on Peacock.
