Teenage Australian rookie Josh Giddey has made history as the youngest player to notch a triple-double in the NBA.
Giddey starred with 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds for the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 95-86 home loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
At just 19 years old and 84 days, Giddey overtakes fellow NBL alumni LaMelo Ball who previously held the record at 19 years old and 140 days set in January last year.
Giddey's feat came in his return after missing three games while in the NBA's COVID-19 protocols.
The Thunder were playing without their leading scorer Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who entered the protocols on Saturday.
The Mavericks got three key players back after stints in the league's COVID-19 protocol, including star Luka Doncic, now the fourth-youngest to put up a triple-double after he did it in 2019.
Doncic nearly recorded another, with 14 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds as he helped the Mavs to the win after returning from a 10-day absence due to a knee injury.
The feat continues an exceptional rookie season for Giddey, the sixth overall draft pick, who has had seven double-doubles for his youthful OKC team.
