Spencer Dinwiddie passes Joe Johnson in Nets three-point shooting history

[Badfinger]

Brooklyn Nets combo guard Spencer Dinwiddie has played for four different teams during his 10-year NBA career and yet, he will always be known as a Net. Dinwiddie is in his second stint with the Nets and this is after spending a little over four seasons with the franchise during his first stint from 2016 to 2021. As such, he continues to elevate his name in the Nets history books. In Monday’s 131-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings, Dinwiddie put up 18 points and seven assists in Brooklyn’s quest to beat the Kings despite giving up a constant barrage of three-pointers. Despite the disappointing loss in the first game of a five-game west coast road trip, there was something positive that came out of the contest. When Dinwiddie made his second three-pointer with 11:07 left in the third quarter, Nets PR posted on X that he passed Joe Johnson for fifth in Nets history for three-pointers made. Dinwiddie has now made 517 three-pointers for the Nets and he has to make 122 three-pointers before he passes Vince Carter, who is fourth in franchise history with 638 made three-pointers. So far this season, Dinwiddie is shooting 33.3% from three-point range and is draining 2.2 three-pointers per game. At his current pace, Dinwiddie will have to play 55 more games in which he makes between two and three three-pointers and should be able to pass Carter before the end of this season. Per Nets PR: Spencer Dinwiddie’s second 3-pointer made tonight was the 517th of his Nets career, moving him past Joe Johnson (516) into sole possession of fifth place in Nets history. Next up: Vince Carter (638). — Sharif Phillips-Keaton (@SharifKeaton) December 12, 2023 With 2 three's tonight, Spencer Dinwiddie has surpassed Joe Johnson on the Nets all-time 3-point FGM leaderboard #NETSonYES pic.twitter.com/OfYpJrzpK5 — YES Network (@YESNetwork) December 12, 2023 Nets' Jacque Vaughn on loss to Kings: 'we didn't push the ball enough'Nets' Cam Johnson discusses team's shot selection in loss to KingsPlayer grades: Mikal Bridges scores 22 as Nets lose to Kings 131-118 Email Sign up Like this article?
