What is Starry Range?
Replacing the "DEW Zone," which featured in the 3-Point Contest for the previous three years, the Starry Zone will provide the ultimate test of long-range shooting.
A player may shoot a maximum of two Wilson Starry basketballs from a distance of 29 feet and nine inches, which is six feet beyond the regulation 3-point line.
Each Starry Range basket is worth three points apiece, bringing the perfect score for each round to 40.
Who is participating in the 2023 Starry 3-Point Contest?
This year's field includes All-Stars Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard and Lauri Markkanen.
Pacers guard Buddy Hield headlines the field in search of his second 3-Point Contest crown, having won in Chicago in 2020. Hield leads the NBA in 3-point makes this season and is shooting over 40 percent from the perimeter.
Lillard returns for his third appearance in the contest, having previously participated in 2014 and 2019.
