While Domantas Sabonis averages a double-double when he starts for the Indiana Pacers, the Lithuanian registered one for Team World in the Mtn Dew Kickstart Rising Stars game on Friday. Team World beat Team USA, 155-124.
Sabonis scored his 13 points on a perfect 6 of 6 shooting from the field, including a 3-pointer. He missed out on a perfect shooting night as he missed his one free throw attempt. But at least his game-high 11 rebounds earned him a double-double in 18 minutes of play. He also had three assists.
It was an improvement on his 10 points and one rebound in the game a year ago and is another reminder of his growth as a player in the last 365 days.
