Steph Curry Plans 2027 Return to the Three-Point Contest — Wants Klay in the Mix
Curry’s comeback plans
Before the All-Star Game tipped off, Steph Curry surprised fans by saying he intends to enter the Three-Point Contest again in 2027. The two-time winner mentioned he’ll try to persuade former teammate Klay Thompson to join him, which could set up one of the most talked-about shooting matchups in All-Star history.
Curry already has titles from 2015 and 2021, and he’s clearly gunning to become one of the few players to claim three wins. It won’t be easy — especially if Klay, a career 40.9 percent three-point shooter and one of the purest marksmen the game has seen, decides to suit up — but if anyone thrives under that kind of spotlight, it’s Steph.
This year’s contest and Lillard’s milestone
This season’s contest delivered drama: Damian Lillard edged out Devin Booker 29–27 in the final. That victory made Lillard just the third player ever to win the event three times, joining an exclusive club with Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.
Even more impressive was how Lillard performed with an ongoing Achilles issue that has kept him out of regular-season play. His showing on All-Star Saturday only reinforced his reputation as one of the elite long-range scorers in league history.
With that kind of legacy-setting energy in the event, Curry’s 2027 return — possibly alongside Klay — is something every fan will be eager to see.
