New York Knicks All-Star Jalen Brunson was not able to come away with the win in the 2025 NBA 3-Point Contest. As a result, he’s open to running it back for a third time in next year’s competition.
Brunson put up 18 points in Round 1 of the competition. Had he made just two more three-pointers, he would have eclipsed Miami Heat All-Star Tyler Herro — who ended with 19 points — for the third and last spot into the final round.
Herro just got in after Golden State Warriors star Buddy Hield, who went nuclear for a contest-record 31 points in Round 1, and Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers) who boasted 24 points (h/t The Sporting News’ Daniel Mader).
