More history for Damontas Sabonis

The 28-year-old’s unique statline was a piece of history on Thursday, as Sabonis became the first player to ever record 22 points, 28 rebounds and 5 assists while shooting 60% or better from the field.
All of Sabonis’ hard work was ultimately for nothing though, as the Sacramento Kings suffered a brutal overtime loss in New Orleans that could prove to be detrimental by the end of the season.
There has been 16 occasions where a player has recorded 21+ rebounds in a single game this season and Sabonis was responsible for five of those statlines.
Sabonis’ record breaking season only seems to get better every week, which raises the question as to why he was yet again snubbed from the All-Star game in 2025.
