The NBA announced its field for the 2026 3-point contest, and the inclusion of Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is raising eyebrows.
Despite missing time this season due to injury, Book was named to his fifth career All-Star team as a reserve. His inclusion gives the Suns — a team shattering expectations this season — a representative on the big stage separate from team owner and former college walk-on Mat Ishbia suiting up for the celebrity game.
But even as a past 3-point contest winner — Book took home the accolade in 2018 — Booker’s inclusion to this year’s field is interesting given how the combo guard has struggled from 3-point range this season.
