Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker will represent the team in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 15. Not only that, but fans will also see Booker put on a shot and go against some of the league’s best outside shooters. The former Kentucky star will participate in the 2026 State Farm 3-Point Contest.
Booker will go up against Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers), Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia 76ers), Kon Knueppel (Charlotte Hornets), Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers), Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets), Bobby Portis Jr. (Milwaukee Bucks) and Norman Powell (Miami Heat).
It will be Booker’s fifth time participating in the event. The Suns star represented Phoenix in the contest in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020. He won the competition in his second appearance.
After the Suns’ 120-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, Devin Booker revealed that he was surprised to get the invite from the league. But he’s looking forward to representing the team, the city and his teammates.
“We’re a 3-point shooting team. So I’m there on behalf of Collin, Royce, and Grayson. It’ll be fun. I like the game, too, everything is earlier in the day now. We have practice at noon and then the 3-point [contest] starts at 2. So, I’m already down there … and I can shoot off the rack pretty good,” Booker said.
This season, Booker has been averaging 25.3 points on 30.7% shooting from deep. Although he hasn’t shot well from beyond the arc, he’s still determined to win.
Devin Booker is excited to see Mat Ishbia at the All-Star Celebrity Game
Devin Booker isn’t the only person who will represent the Suns over the weekend. Majority owner Mat Ishbia will showcase his on-court skills at the 2026 Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game. Ahead of the contest, Booker revealed his excitement.
“I’m pretty sure he has a trainer. He obviously has a court at his house. I think he’s going to be well-prepared, I just have to make sure he’s in some Books,” the five-time All-Star said.
Ishbia will team up with Simu Liu, Mustard, former NBA player Jason Williams and many more.
