Josh Giddey, the youngest player in league history to record a triple-double, was back after missing three games while in the NBA's health and safety protocols.
Giddey had 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebound for his first triple-double in a 95-86 loss to the Thunder.
Giddey was 19 years and 84 days old when he beat LaMelo Ball, who was 19 years and 140 days old.
I said earlier in the year that it was cool. Giddey said that the individual statistics were good. A win is always better than individual statistics. If I have a triple-double and lose, it's worse than if I have zero-zero-zero.
Giddey was the youngest player in NBA history to lead all players on both teams in points, assists, and rebounds.
The performance left Kidd, the Mavericks coach who had 107 triple-doubles during his playing career, impressed.
He's willing to help. Kidd said that he understands how to play the game. "He's comfortable with the ball, his teammates all know that if he has it, they're gonna cut, because there's a chance that they can get it." He is comfortable shooting the 3. He has everything.
It's a matter of time before teams understand how to play him. He's as good as advertised.
