EWE Oldenburg forward/center Rasid Mahalbasic registered his second triple-double in the 2018-2019 season so far. A pretty impressive feat given how rare the achievement is in European basketball.
Mahalbasic scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 10 assists to lead his team to a 109 – 93 win over S. Oliver Wurzburg for Round 29 in the German League.
It took 29 minutes for Mahalbasic to post the triple-double and become the first player too have two this season in major European leagues.
Mahalbasic had notched his first triple-double on February 2. The Austrian big guy had then tallied 13 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds in 29 minutes, as Oldenburg beat Braunschweig 103 – 89.
In November, Mahalbasic came two rebounds shy of the triple-double after finishing with 18 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in an 87 – 79 victory over Crailsheim Merlins.
Codi Miller-McIntyre was the only player to finish 2017-2018 with two triples doubles. The American guard had his first in early April when he recorded 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in a Parma win over Enisey for VTB League. Two weeks later, he posted 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in an overtime loss to Avtodor Saratov.
