Kevin Love Congratulates Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis After Beating His Double-Double Record

With his numbers in the Kings’ game against the Philadelphia 76ers, All-Star center man Sabonis made history. With 54 double-doubles in a row, he now owns the longest streak since the ABA-NBA merger. The Sacramento standout has totaled 67 double-doubles so far this season.

Following Sabonis’ remarkable achievement, Kevin Love of the Miami Heat complimented him on breaking his previous record. The statement was shared by the former NBA champion on X:

This season, Sabonis has averaged 19.8 points per game while shooting 60% from the field and 40% from outside the arc in 71 games. In addition to making 8.3 assists per game, he leads the league in rebounds (13.7 per game).

Without a doubt, Sabonis’ arrival has improved the Kings and made them Western Conference playoff candidates. Now that Love has endorsed the big man, Sacramento has a true star on their hands.
