The San Antonio Spurs‘ leading scorer for the third year running will soon be etching his name ahead of some big-time NBA players as the 2020-21 season continues. In Monday’s dominant 120-97 win over Orlando, the Spurs’ second victory in a row, DeMar DeRozan‘s 19 points did more than lead San Antonio.
By scoring his 17,387th point, DeRozan tied two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash for 88th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Nash accomplished the feat after 18 seasons in the league, while DeRozan is currently in his 12th.
