Chris Paul has a new place in the NBA record book.

With a pass to Harrison Barnes Sunday night, the San Antonio Spurs point guard tied Jason Kidd for second-place all-time on the NBA’s assist list. With a subsequent pass to Victor Wembanyma, he passed Kidd with his 12,092nd career assist.

Paul reached the mark in the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans. With 7:06 left in the quarter, Paul looked to Wembanyama on the left wing. Wembanyama pulled up from beyond the 3-point arc and sunk the shot to cut the New Orleans lead to 49-45.

In a season where Paul was acquired to help develop the NBA’s most promising young star, it was fitting that Paul reached the mark Sunday night on a pass to Wembanyama.

Paul now trails only all of Famer John Stockton on the assists list. He’s got a long way to go to catch the Utah Jazz great. Stockton retired as basketball’s assist king with 15,086 assists, a record that a 39-year-old Paul does not project to challenge.

Up next, Paul is eyeing Kidd’s spot on another all-time list. Paul trails Kidd for second place on the all-time steals list. Paul entered Sunday’s game with 2,646 steals, 38 behind Kidd’s career tally of 2,684. A six-time steals champion, Paul is averaging 1.4 swipes per game this season and projects to pass Kidd this season if he remains healthy.

Like on the assists list, Stockton holds a steals record that won’t soon be challenged. Stockton retired with 3,265 steals, 581 ahead of Kidd’s second-place mark.

This is a breaking story that will be updated.
