Domantas Sabonis, the Sacramento Kings' forward, has been making headlines with his remarkable performance this season. Despite struggling with his shot in a recent game, Sabonis still managed to secure his 39th consecutive double-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. Additionally, he achieved his 20th triple-double of the season, becoming the sixth player in NBA history to reach this milestone, with a performance of 17 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists. His consistent performance has sparked conversations about his exclusion from the NBA All-Star lineup, despite averaging 20-13-8 on 62% shooting. The Kings have 26 games left in the season, and Sabonis' achievements have placed him among elite company, including Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Nikola Jokic, as players who have recorded 20 or more triple-doubles in a season.
