Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis Reaches Unreal NBA Territory Untouched In Over 50 Years

Sacramento Kings Star Domantas Sabonis Makes History Again

When Sabonis isn’t posting a triple-double this season, he is busy putting together a double-double performance. That has been quite the story in the 2023-24 NBA campaign for Sabonis, who had 13 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assets versus the hapless Raptors.

Via StatMuse:

Sabonis this season:

64 double-doubles

24 triple-doubles

The only player to reach those marks in a season in over 50 years.

It is no wonder that Sabonis is averaging close to a triple-double on the season. To date, he is making 20.0 points, grabbing 13.7 rebounds, and dropping 8.3 dimes per game, while shooting 60.9 percent from the field. He doesn’t have a high 3-point attempt rate, but when he does try, he’s making 41.1 percent of them.

“What Domas does for us every single night, it’s impressive,” Kings forward Harrison Barnes said after the win over the Raptors (via ESPN) 

“To be able to be a force, go to the glass, facilitate the way he does, score the way he does, draw the attention that defenses put towards him, it’s something that you always have to bring attention to.”

Sabonis and the 123-89 Kings can extend their win streak to three games when they visit the Washington Wizards this Thursday.
