Kon Knueppel of the Charlotte Hornets sets a new NBA rookie record for 3-pointers, sinking his 207th against the Indiana Pacers. The No. 4 pick out of Duke hits five treys in the first half and breaks the record in the third quarter with an assist from Sion James. Knueppel scores 28 points, tying his career high with eight 3s on 12 attempts. He leads the league with 209 3s, shooting 44.2% from beyond the arc. It takes him just 59 games to surpass Keegan Murray’s previous record set last season in 80 games. Hornets coach Charles Lee praises Knueppel's humble approach, which boosts team culture. The Hornets aim for their first playoff appearance since 2015-16, with Knueppel and LaMelo Ball driving the offense.
