Luka Doncic Makes History with Triple-Double After Family Leave
Luka Doncic, the five-time All-NBA guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, made a remarkable return to the court on Sunday, leading his team to a hard-fought 112-108 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The 26-year-old star had taken a brief hiatus from basketball, missing the previous two games to celebrate the birth of his second daughter. During his absence, the Lakers managed to split their contests, securing a close 123-120 win against the Toronto Raptors but suffering a significant 126-105 defeat to the surging Boston Celtics.
Doncic’s Stellar Performance
In his comeback game, Doncic showcased why he is considered one of the elite players in the league. He recorded a dazzling triple-double, finishing with 31 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists, along with two blocks. This performance not only helped his team clinch a vital win but also elevated his status in NBA history.
Climbing the Ranks
With this latest achievement, Doncic has surpassed Nikola Jokic in the all-time leaderboard for 30-point triple-doubles, placing him behind only the legendary Oscar Robertson. This milestone further solidifies Doncic’s legacy as one of the game’s greats, highlighting his exceptional talent and versatility on the court.
As Doncic continues to excel, the Lakers will undoubtedly lean on his abilities as they navigate the season ahead.
