Ayton reached that milestone in just 188 career games. In 54 years of franchise history, including any and all players who even suited up one game for the Suns, only Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley reached it faster.
Ayton scored his 3,000th point in tonight’s game versus the Denver Nuggets after grabbing his 2,000th rebound on Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
