Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey made history in the team’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks as he became the youngest player to record a triple-double in NBA history. Giddey, who is 19 years and 84 days old, surpasses Charlotte Hornet’s guard LaMelo Ball’s record of 19 years and 140 days.
Giddey finished with 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds in 36 minutes. The rookie guard was close a couple of times this season to getting the record but was always a few stats away from getting it. He finally gets it on the second day of 2022 as he makes his return from the health and safety protocols.
