Chris Paul passes Jason Kidd for 2nd all-time in NBA assists on pass to Victor Wembanyama
Chris Paul has a new place in the NBA record book.
With a pass to Harrison Barnes Sunday night, the San Antonio Spurs point guard tied Jason Kidd for second-place all-time on the NBA's assist list. With a subsequent pass to Victor Wembanyma, he passed Kidd with his 12,092nd career assist.
Paul reached the mark in the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans. With 7:06 left in the quarter, Paul looked to Wembanyama on the left wing. Wembanyama pulled up from beyond the 3-point arc and sunk the shot to cut the New Orleans lead to 49-45.
In a season that Paul was acquired in part to help develop the NBA's most promising young star, it was fitting that Paul reached the mark on a pass to Wembanyama.
