Domantas Sabonis now holds the record for longest single-season double-double streak in NBA history since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77, surpassing Kevin Love.
During the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Sabonis had 11 points, ten rebounds and eight assists, extending his streak to 54 games.
Love set the previous record (53) during the 2010-11 season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The only other players to have such a streak or more came before the 1976 merger. The previous eleven instances came from Wilt Chamberlain (6x), Walt Bellamy (1), Elgin Baylor (1), and Elvin Hayes (2):
- Wilt Chamberlin (1966-67): 81
- Wilt Chamberlin (1963-64): 80
- Wilt Chamberlin (1961-62): 80
- Walt Bellamy (1961-62): 79
- Wilt Chamberlin (1960-61): 79
- Elgin Baylor (1960-61): 70
- Wilt Chamberlin (1967-68): 66
- Elvin Hayes (1968-69): 60
- Wilt Chamberlin (1959-60): 56
- Elvin Hayes (1973-74): 55
- Domantas Sabonis (2023-24): 54
- Kevin Amour (2010-11): 53
This isn’t the first record Domantas Sabonis has broken during his short tenure with the Sacramento Kings. Last season, with a broken right thumb, the Kings center finished the year with the most triple-doubles (14) and the most double-doubles (65) in a single season in the Sacramento era.
