Hornets' Kon Knueppel breaks NBA rookie record for 3-pointers in single season

Charlotte Hornets forward Kon Knueppel broke the NBA record for most 3-pointers made by a rookie in a single season on Saturday. 

The previous mark for most 3s hit by a rookie was by the Sacramento Kings' Keegan Murray, set during the 2022-23 season when he knocked down 206. 

Knueppel tied Murray's record late in the first half, stopping at the arc during a fast break to nail his fifth 3 of the game. He went 5-for-8 on 3-pointers in the first half, making his first four attempts. The rookie star had an opportunity to break the record before halftime, but missed a contested turnaround from the wing at the buzzer.
