Luka Doncic scored 33 points in a near-triple-double performance during the win of the Dallas Mavericks over the Orlando Magic and reached yet another career milestone.
By scoring 33, Doncic passed Kevin Durant in the list of players with the most 30-point plus performances under the age of 21 in the history of the NBA. The Slovenian point forward now has 29 games with 30 or more points while KD, who has been out of action this season, stands at 28 games.
Doncic becomes 21 years old on February 28 so it’s impossible for him to get even near Lebron James’ 57 games with 30+ points. Still, it’s another impressive accomplishment for the Mavericks‘ star player.
With his 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists last night against the Magic, Luka joined an elite list:
