Kon Knueppel, a rookie Charlotte Hornets player, lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers 139-132, becoming the fastest player to make 100 three-pointers in the NBA.
The 20-year-old, who was the fourth pick overall in the 2025 draft, scored the only goal in Rocket Arena’s first quarter and reached the milestone with just 29 games remaining.
Lauri Markkanen, a Utah Jazz player for the Chicago Bulls, held the previous record of 41 games in 2017-18.
Knueppel finished with 20 points from his nine three-point attempts against the Cavaliers, while LaMelo Ball added 23 and Brandon Miller added 20.
However, the Cavaliers had only 30 points, with DeAndre Hunter having 27 and Darius Garland having 10 assists.

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Indianapolis Colts 48-27 to maintain their NFC West title hopes. Quarterback Brock Purdy threw a career-high five touchdown passes.
The 49ers extended their winning streak to five games with the completion of 25 of their 34 passes for 295 yards.
The 49ers defeated a spirited Colts side by running back Christian McCaffrey, who caught two touchdown passes.
Since the legendary Joe Montana in 1990, Purdy became the first 49ers quarterback to score five touchdown passes.
The 49ers are aware that two victories will give them the divisional title and home advantage in the playoffs as they approach their final two regular-season games against the Chicago Bears and the NFC West leaders, the Seattle Seahawks.
The Colts are out of the AFC South title race after their fifth successive defeat, but they could still earn a wildcard spot.

Alec Pierce finished with four catches for 86 yards as the Colts opened the scoring with the help of 44-year-old emergency quarterback Philip Rivers.
However, Purdy quickly took control of the visitors, completing touchdown passes to Demarcus Robinson and McCaffrey quickly in the opening quarter.
Rivers and Pierce made a second-quarter score-settings combination early in the second quarter, but Purdy’s 11-yard pass gave the 49ers a 24-17 lead at half-time.
As the 49ers continued to lead, Purdy found Jauan Jennings and McCaffrey either side of a one-yard touchdown run for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.
Less than a week after making a video of his Florida home decorated for Christmas, a YouTuber, 51, was discovered dead inside his home.
A friend found out about influential author Adam the Woo on Monday (22 December). Police were already called to the residence to check their well-being, but they were unable to enter.
The YouTuber, who was actually David Adam Williams, was declared dead at the scene, but it was impossible to determine what caused his death. There will be an autopsy on the day. Adam, a YouTuber who passed away, was 51 years old.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office later received a call about an unattended death, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office. The friend had borrowed a ladder to climb up a window on the third floor after becoming concerned about Adam and calling the police. Adam was lying on the bed and not moving when he looked through the window.
A YouTuber dubbed “Adam the Woo,” David Adam Williams.
His last update to his Instagram account, @TheDailyWoo, was a day after he visited Disneyland to watch the Grinch Christmas festivities.
He posted a video two days prior to the holiday season in which he excitedly decorated and decorated his home.
His second account has 746, 000 subscribers, making this one. His other account, @adamthewoo, has 407, 000 subscribers, giving him an overall total of over a million. He stated in the bio of one of his accounts, “I go on adventures.
“From wacky roadside attractions to abandoned theme parks to movie locations. I don’t take my videos or myself too seriously. Join Me, Shall You? I’m an 80s pop culture nerd who wants to travel and watch what I see.
With his YouTube channel, he traveled the world.
He was discovered dead on December 22.
Fans flocked to the comments section of his most recent video because of his tragic passing. One person wrote, “I don’t understand how I can be so devastated and depressed over losing someone I’ve never met. Adam, thank you for your daily laughs and enjoyment. Rest in peace.
I’m devastated, another said. His poor parents. Adam, I appreciate everything. You are our love. Knowing this is the last one hurts so much as you watch the third one continue. One of the first YouTubers I started following for ten years. You will truly be missed forever.
And that’s how Adam frequently ends his videos, “And that’s going to do it for today. “Many fans understood that statement and how heartbreaking it was to hear it in the final video. One wrote, “And that’s gonna do it for today.” My heart sank. “

After their brother was charged with the murders of their parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner’s children have spoken out.
The couple’s 32-year-old son Nick, who had battled addiction and was reportedly receiving schizophrenia, has been charged with their deaths after their deaths were discovered in their Los Angeles home on December 14. Jake, 34, and Romy, 27, the other children of Rob and Michele, have expressed their gratitude for their support, as well as confirm that details for a service of remembrance will follow in due course.
The two then described their parents as their “best friends,” not just their parents.
(Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) Rob Reiner and his wife Michele have three children: Jake, Romy, and Nick.
The siblings’ representatives stated in a new statement that they are forever grateful for the love and support they have received.
They will inform people about a memorial service in their parents’ honor at a later time.
Romy and Jake claimed last week that they had endured “unimaginable pain” daily.
Words cannot even begin to describe the unbearable pain we are going through each day, according to a statement from last week. No one should ever go through the horrifying and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. They were our best friends, not just our parents.
When discussing the circumstances surrounding their deaths, the siblings continued to thank and thank people for their love and support.
We are appreciative of the kindness, condolences, and support we have received from people of all kinds, not just from our own families and friends.
We now request respect and privacy, tolerance for speculation and compassion for humanity, and the memorialization of our parents for the extraordinary lives they led and the love they shared.
Nick Reiner, Rob’s son, has been detained and charged with the murders (Getty Images).
After being charged with two counts of first-degree murder, their brother made his first court appearance last Wednesday (17.12.25).
During his appearance at Los Angeles Superior Court, Nick wore a blue anti-suicide smock and shackles despite having battled addiction and homelessness for years.
His lawyer, Alan Jackson, declined to offer a plea for his client. Nick did have a brief speech at the hearing, though.
When asked if he would consent to a swift trial, he responded, “Yes, your honor.” The date of Nick’s arraignment is currently January 7, 2026.
After being alerted when Rob and Michele didn’t respond to a scheduled visitor on their home’s security buzzer, Romy and a friend alerted them to the bodies of their parents in their bedroom.
Police and medical assistance arrived at the address after around 3.38 p.m. when the couple were already dead.
Adam Wharton may be in the mix when Crystal Palace attempts to win more silverware on Tuesday at Emirates Stadium.
The Eagles won the FA Cup earlier this year, and the midfielder, age 21, won it with Liverpool.
The EFL Cup’s second round’s winner must first defeat Premier League leaders Arsenal in the quarter-finals before Oliver Glasner’s side can move on.
Keep Wharton at the helm of the looming transfer window for January could be crucial if Palace are to continue to improve their recent success and establish a consistent presence in European competition.
According to Match of the Day pundit Thomas Hitzlsperger, “He is still a young player, but the way he moves around the pitch looks so calm and he hasn’t even played 50 Premier League games yet.”
Being so central and inexperienced while still having such an impact on this team is really impressive. A contemporary number six who both wins and passes the ball.
His focus is always on the pitch, he says. He is aware of where his teammates are and where he is. He occasionally jogs around and doesn’t really get sweaty, but he is aware of where his needs are in his current situation. “No one can get the ball off of him.”
After falling to Leeds on Saturday, Palace moved up to eighth place in the Premier League, only three points clear of fourth-placed Chelsea.
They will need Wharton’s best performance in the Conference League’s two-legged play-off if they want to advance and maintain their European dream.
According to BBC Sport’s head football correspondent Phil McNulty, the “classy, fiercely competitive midfielder” has been “running games with his” loping, languid style.”
It should come as no surprise that he has connections to numerous Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, and both Manchester teams.
Opta
What are his rivals in the Premier League?
Wharton made an impressive display in the middle of the park despite losing to Manchester City by 3-0 in December.
No player in the game made more tackles than his four, which should surprise Opta, who averages 2.2 tackles per game.
He plays defensively strong, and he averages 2.1% of his passes per game, which highlights game intelligence and judgment.
Wharton has made 15 appearances in the Premier League this season and has played 1, 213 minutes so far.
He averages 4.9 progressive passes per match and 0.7 open-play chances.
He leads his team-mates in terms of attempted passes in the final third (170), second in terms of through balls (82), and one behind Yeremy Pino, who has the most chances created (211).
Wharton expands the conversation so that only Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson can average a 50% dribble completion while expanding the conversation to include other Premier League midfielders.
Rice leads with 11.3, followed by Anderson (9.8) and Bruno Guimaraes (6.5), who also holds the lead in progressive carries. Caicedo averages 6.1% while Wharton is 4.8%.
Wharton may be the worst pass- and pass-ahead midfielder out of those five, but he has the third-most forward passes under high-intensity pressure completed in 90 minutes, with a 6.53, which suggests he is more likely to try line-breaking passes.
He is being viewed as a future star and demonstrates his ability to engage with the best players in the Premier League right now.
Wharton himself knows that there is still work to be done, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
The midfielder said, “I try to take bits from everyone,” after his team beat Wolves 2-0 last month. People come up in various positions, whether it’s the opposition or through training.
He continued, “I chat to them off the pitch as well as learn new things, even if it’s not necessarily about football but the mental side of things.”
“It’s tiny things,” I make an effort to take as much as possible, hoping it will improve.
Wharton is a member of Tuchel’s England team.
Shay Given, a pundit for Match of the Day, and former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given, praised the England international’s intelligence.
He strikes me as a player who doesn’t need to be an overly coach, Given said. He is aware of the position.
He occasionally slows down and allows the play to whizz by. Before the pass even arrives, he is aware of it. His surroundings are also ahead of his own brains.
He is one of the Premier League’s most gifted midfielders, according to me. Does he play for the World Cup team?
