Darius Acuff Jr. Makes NBA History With 9 Three-Pointers

Sacramento Kings rookie Darius Acuff Jr. played the highest-scoring game of his career against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 19-year-old guard scored 38 points, along with 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Acuff made 9 of 14 attempts from beyond the arc, a 64.3 percent success rate. With this result, he was recorded as the first and only player aged 19 or younger to make 9 three-pointers in a single game in NBA history.

Criticized for his shooting percentage in the first weeks of the season, the young player silenced a significant part of the debate with this performance. He continues to be one of the most notable names during the Kings' difficult stretch.

For the young roster, this game is seen as an important example of how far Acuff's outside shooting ability can go.
