UPDATE: D'Angelo Russell has now moved ahead of Jordan Farmar for sole possession of 13th on the list.   

On Monday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the New York Knicks in California. 

During the game, D'Angelo Russell made team history by moving up on the Lakers' all-time three-pointers list.  

Russell has now moved ahead of Sasha Vujacic (363) and tied Jordan Farmar (364) for 13th on the list. 

Russell came into the night with averages of 16.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists per contest while shooting 47.8% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range in 25 games.   

The Lakers are the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a 15-11 record in their first 26 games. 

They are 6-4 over their last games and most recently lost to the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 129-115 on Friday in Texas (Russell did not play in the game). 

Following the Knicks, the Lakers will visit DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Wednesday evening in Illinois. 

Russell was the second pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Ohio State and spent the first two seasons of his career with the Lakers.  

In addition to the Lakers, he has also spent time with the Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves. 

During the middle of last season, the 2019 NBA All-Star was traded from the Timberwolves back to the Lakers. 

His career averages are 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 42.8% from the field and 36.3% from the three-point range in 520 regular season games.
