Domantas Sabonis Sets NBA Record With Double-Double
Sacramento defended their home court against the Philadelphia 76ers with the help of Domantas Sabonis and his impressive stat line. Not only did he put up a double-double, but he also had a triple-double, that created history for the Kings’ big man.
Since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77, Domantas Sabonis is the only player in history to have 54 consecutive double-doubles—an incredible feat considering how underrated he is.
Sabonis officially made history in Monday’s third quarter with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Even more impressively, the 27-year-old leads the league in double-doubles, triple-doubles, and rebounds per game this season.
Sacramento’s center averages 19.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 71 games. He has the opportunity to be up there with Wilt Chamberlain (1967-68) as the only player to average 20/13/8 for an entire season.
