The Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis has registered another milestone in the match against the Orlando Magic.
The 27-year-old was the star performer for the franchise on the night as he registered 21 points to go with 14 rebounds and eight assists. While doing so, he has now equalled Kevin Love’s record for the most consecutive double-doubles he registered in the 1976-77 season.
It was the 53rd consecutive fixture where Sabonis managed to register a double-digit tally in at least two out of the five categories.
The last time he missed out on such an opportunity was back in November against the Los Angeles Clippers where he registered just 11 points to go with five rebounds and three assists.
The Kings went on to register a much-needed win against the Magic side with a score of 109-107 at the Kia Center in Orlando.
The win was an important one for the Kings as it put them in the seventh position in the Western Conference table with 41 wins and 29 defeats. On the other hand, the defeat means that the Magic will stay in the fifth position in the Eastern Conference table with 42 wins and 29 defeats.
Sabonis, in this campaign, has registered 20 points, 8.3 assists and 0.9 steals per game. That’s not it as he also registered 13.7 rebounds per game which is the best by any player in the division.

Domantas Sabonis records his 53rd consecutive double-double and ties Kevin Love (2010-11) for the longest streak of consecutive double-doubles since 1976-77: Kevin Love - 53 (11/22/10-3/11/11) Domantas Sabonis – 53 (12/2/23-3/23/24)
