"Porter Jr. currently has 172 makes from distance this season through 50 games -- 3.4 makes per game. There are 20 games left in Brooklyn's season. If he plays every game the rest of the way, he'll be on pace to break the record."
"With that said, the likelihood of the best player on a team trying to position itself in a prime draft position plays every game down the stretch of the season is low. To be safe, let's say Porter Jr. misses five games out of the 20 remaining. Then he would have to drill 4.1 triples per game to break the record."
"A lot of his success this season from beyond the arc has obviously stemmed from increased opportunity. Career-highs in 3-point attempts and usage rate have helped him contend for this record. Porter Jr. is a career 39.9% shooter from deep, converting at a career-low 36.8% clip this season."
Michael Porter Jr. joined the Brooklyn Nets in the 2025 NBA offseason and is positioned to potentially break the franchise single-season three-point record. D'Angelo Russell holds the current record with 234 three-pointers made during the 2018-19 season. Through 50 games, Porter Jr. has made 172 three-pointers at a rate of 3.4 per game. With 20 games remaining in the season, he is on pace to break the record if he plays all remaining games. However, accounting for potential rest games during a season where Brooklyn may prioritize draft positioning, Porter Jr. would need to average 4.1 makes per game over 15 games to surpass the record. His increased opportunity this season, reflected in career-highs in three-point attempts and usage rate, has contributed to his success from beyond the arc.
