Overview
- Ball reached his 1,000th career made three-pointer in the first quarter of Minnesota’s game versus the Milwaukee Bucks, achieving the mark within the first four minutes of play on Monday.
- He hit the mark in his 311th career game, which Real App counted as the fewest appearances any player has needed to reach 1,000 made threes.
- Ball scored 11 of Minnesota’s first 15 points in that early burst and launched a season-high number of perimeter attempts as his usage climbed with Edwards out of the lineup.
- The record measures speed by games played and reflects high volume and opportunity, not shooting efficiency or overall ranking among the all-time leaders.
- Ball now joins roughly 187 other players who have reached 1,000 career threes, surpassing Duncan Robinson’s previous games-played mark of 343 and giving the Timberwolves a clear focal point to build around offensively.
