NBA announces fields for 3-Point, Slam Dunk, Skills Challenge events on All-Star Weekend - ESPN

9:04 PM ET

The Curry brothers -- Stephen and Seth -- and Dirk Nowitzki will headline the 3-Point Contest as part of NBA All-Star Weekend, the league announced Tuesday.

The field also will include reigning champion Devin Booker and Kemba Walker, who will be on his home court when the event takes place Feb. 16, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Booker won last season's 3-Point Contest with a record 28-point final round. But that field didn't include Stephen Curry, who passed on participating in Los Angeles last year but won the event in 2015. His younger brother, Seth, currently leads the league in 3-point shooting at 48.5 percent.

The Currys grew up in Charlotte, and Stephen was an All-American at nearby Davidson.

Stephen and Seth's father, Dell, played 10 seasons for the Charlotte Hornets -- participating in the 3-point contest twice -- and remains a television analyst for the franchise.

The league also on Tuesday announced the full lineups for the Slam Dunk Contest and Skills Challenge. The full lineups below:

• Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns
