Registers First Triple-Double Dončić’s play has been turning heads for years, and his prowess in all facets of the game is showing up on stat sheets across the league, too. He pocketed the first triple-double of his career during his rookie season in a 10-point loss at Milwaukee. While his 18-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist evening didn’t deliver a Dallas win, it was certainly a noteworthy moment for the NBA record books as he became just the second teenager ever to record a triple-double, joining Markelle Fultz, who did so with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2018. Six days later, Dončić put up another terrific trio of numbers—35 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists—to secure his second triple-double in a home loss to Toronto. Dončić is the third-youngest player to pull off the triple-double in NBA history, behind Fultz and Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, who achieved his first during his 2021 Rookie of the Year season.
