Of course, Wilt Chamberlain holds the all-time record with 227 straight double-doubles.
Sabonis finished with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists against Philadelphia to become the fifth player in NBA history with at least 25 triple-doubles in a season — joining Jokic, Russell Westbrook, Chamberlain, and Oscar Robertson.
Last week, Sabonis became just the second NBA player in history to finish a season with at least 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 600 assists — joining Chamberlain.
In Sacramento’s 131-110 victory against the Detroit Pistons on Jan. 9, the eight-year veteran recorded a season-high 37 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, and three steals in 37 minutes of action.
