Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Josh Giddey on Sunday surpassed LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets to become the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.
Giddey, at 19 years and 84 days, finished with 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds in a 95-86 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He shot 7-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range, in 36 minutes after returning from a three-game absence in the health and safety protocol.
The sixth pick has flirted with a triple-double several times this season and finally accomplished the feat to pass Ball, who was 19 years and 140 days old when he took the distinction from Markelle Fultz.
