Cole Anthony Did Something Only Two Other NBA Rookies Since 1996 Have Done

Posted May 3, 2021
Since the 1996-97 season, only three NBA rookies have made two or more last-second game-winning shots. One of them is the Magic’s Cole Anthony, who most recently drilled a go-ahead 3-pointer with one-tenth of a second left against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. The other two players were Tyreke Evans in 2009-10 and Trae Young in 2018-19. (Orlando Magic)
