Peyton Pritchard passes Ray Allen on Boston’s 3-point list
The Boston Celtics take the Golden State Warriors to the woodshed on Thursday at the Chase Center in San Francisco, with Peyton Pritchard adds more to the amazing night his team is having.
Pritchard moved up on the franchise’s all-time 3-point listsurpassing the legendary Ray Allen for the No. 6 spot, via Boston coverage manager Taylor Snow.
A former Oregon Ducks star, Pritchard entered the Warriors game with 797 3-pointers in his NBA career with Boston, and needed just one to tie Allen on the franchise list.
28-year-old Prichard has played all his years in the NBA in the colors of the Celticsand developed into one of the team’s most reliable offensive weapons.
With Jayson Tatum still sidelined with an injury, Pritchard saw extended playing time and rewarded Boston by providing consistent scoring, mostly as a starter. Through his first 53 games of the 2025-26 NBA season, Prichard averaged a career-high 17.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists while knocking down 2.6 3-pointers per outing.
Opposing defenses have paid more attention to Pritchard amid Tatum’s absence. But he still has consistent numbers on offense for the Celtics, who are still one of the best teams in the league despite Tatum’s injury.
Pritchard, whose current contract with Boston does not expire until the summer of 2028, can continue to make more 3-point shots. Just above him on the list is Marcus Smart, who made a total of 911 3-pointers as a Celtic.
Paul Pierce is the Boston franchise’s all-time leader in three-pointers made with 1,823 to his name.
