The unique Statline of the 28-year-old was a piece of history on Thursday, because Sabonis became the first player to take 22 points, 28 rebounds and 5 assists while shot 60% or better.
All the hard work of Sabonis, however, was in the end for nothing, because the Sacramento kings suffer a brutal loss of overtime in New Orleans that could prove to be harmful towards the end of the season.
There was 16 occasions where a player this season recorded 21+ rebounds in one match and Sabonis was responsible for five of those statlines.
Sabonis’ record breaking season only seems to get better every week, which raises the question why he was being driven out of the All-Star game again in 2025.
