Damian Lillard will reportedly join teammate Seth Curry in representing the Portland Trail Blazers in the three-point contest during All-Star weekend.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports broke the news earlier today:

Lillard is making 2.8 threes per game at a 37.1% clip this season. However, that percentage does not accurately reflect Lillard’s ability. He has unlimited range from deep and is often smothered by opposing defenders as soon as he crosses the half-court line.
