On Tuesday evening, the Golden State Warriors are hosting the Philadelphia 76ers at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
During the game, two-time MVP Steph Curry made NBA history by moving ahead of Sam Cassell (5,939) for 42nd on the all-time assists list.
Following Cassell, the next player for Curry to pass will be Mookie Blaylock (5,972).
In addition, Curry is playing in his 923rd career game, which ties Jalen Rose and Mark Aguirre for 230th on the NBA’s all-time regular season games played list.
Following Rose and Aguirre, the next player for Curry to pass will be Bob Cousy (924).
Curry came into the evening with averages of 27.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists per contest while shooting 44.9% from the field and 40.3% from the three-point range in 40 games.
While he has been fantastic, the Warriors are the 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 19-24 record in their first 43 games.
Most recently, they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 145-144 (in double-overtime).
Despite the loss, Curry was brilliant and put up 46 points, three rebounds, seven assists and one steal while shooting 17/35 from the field in 43 minutes of playing time.
Following the 76ers, the Warriors will travel to Memphis for a matchup with the Grizzlies on Friday evening.
Curry was the seventh pick in the 2009 NBA Draft and is in his 15th season in the league (all with Golden State).
He has led the franchise to four NBA Championships since 2015.
