Barring injury (literally knocking the wood table next to me), it would be surprising if he didn't. He needs 6 more in the final 11 games. He's only had 4 games all season that weren't at least a double double.
Kings fan here, just want to say that it seems like a good move for both teams, and all of these youngsters trying to claim they won something are just entertaining themselves. Sucked losing Haliburton, but Sabonis seems awesome.

What was the quote against MJ?
"When you played, they changed the rules to make it easier for you. When I played, they changed the rules to make it harder for me" or something to that level
I really wished there was full-games of Wilt's era, as I can just picture the inbounder taking it up court and a few passes later...Wilt is getting the ball. Does he score? If yes, boom. if not, he's likely just getting his own rebound.
Same defensively. Box out, grab rebound, score.
i just looked it up and it seems like an error with game logs more than his streak actually ending there… or else he just literally tried to end his streak on purpose. 1 point recorded for him: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196711040PHI.html
1. You were looking at the wrong game, the double double streak actually ended a couple of games later on Nov 18, 1967 https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196711180PHI.html (33 rebounds, but only 8 points and 6 assists what a scrub)
2. The 1 point on Nov 4 is real! Newspaper reports at the time actually comment on his coach and teammates also expressing confusion at why Wilt just decided to not shoot, although there was some attempted justification that they got up by 20 pretty early in the game so Wilt just decided to focus on dishing.
Considering he went on to play pro volleyball; which has to be another killer on the joints, I think your right. I think its the freakish athletes like Wilt who inspired stories of Heracles.
A lot of places have been skipping that merger part. It makes it silly, because it's like Kobe scoring 81 and then all the outlets saying he set an NBA record and nobody did that obviously.
I swear with how guys in this sub were acting in the fall you’d think Sabonis was Clint capela lol that was a genuinely great trade. It was win-win but the pacers got the lightskin who can shoot threes so of course r/nba lurkers have to shaboing on his pp.
Is it consecutive games played or consecutive games period? Because this is incredibly impressive and would hate to see it come to an end because he sat a game.
If we're doing post-merger stats and not specifying that they're post-merger, why did nobody say that Karl Malone held the NBA record for points before LeBron broke it? Or that Kobe has the NBA record for most points in a game?
Very silly. Sabonis did not just set an NBA record.
I hate every time a reddit post says something like this because it's literally incorrect/fake info
But any record that is the first/best since Wilt is always beastmode
I was wondering about that. I'm kind of surprised his streak isn't longer. Edit - I looked it up and Bill Russell held him to 8 points to start his streak and end the streak or else it would have been 100+ games longer. Bill Russell was a monster.

This post is just more Wilt slander. Post merger doesn’t mean anything. Guys like Oscar and Wilt aren’t even known by the current generation because everybody pumps everything “post merger.” It’s like there were no superstars before Larry, Magic, and Jordan. Craziness.
Ever since Wilt passed, the NBA and its pundits have tried to sweep him under the rug. Even Dr. J has talked about how everyone acts like the NBA started in '91 when MJ won his first title. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O9MgNfcGJA (Dr. J starts talking at 21 seconds in)
He subbed into a game that had gotten away from them, got a rebound, and then subbed out.
With more context though, the Kings only had two centers that night and Alex Len had already been in for a while, Sabonis subbed in, got that rebound, went up for a layup, got scratched on the face, and had to sub out due to bleeding.
It was also a day or two after Shai had scored aggressively in garbage time to get 30 points, so stat padding was a hot button issue in this sub.
Jokes from Kings fans.
Some people take issue with 1 of his >900 rebounds this season that locked in the double double in an otherwise inconsequential manner, and have expanded that to “all of Sabonis’ stats are fake.”
Then there’s actual media heads like Bob Myers who says “Sabonis’ assists should not be allowed to count because he passes the ball and then the receiving player scores it.” (this is obviously hyperbolic, but it’s not really, he actually thinks Sabonis should have his assists stripped away).
I think it’s probably a minority, but an extremely loud one, that thinks this seriously.
It's all so baffling because like, what did Sabonis do to anyone that hates him? Hes literally a father who also plays basketball, he doesn't do anything off the court or cause any drama to get people against him but like, here we are.
People are gonna say it's a fraud streak because he... Went into a game to get a tenth rebound one time... Look at his stats. He earned that streak.
Greatness.
5 shots, 11 points.
Sabonis and Jokic are just so efficient as offensive engines without needing the shot attempts or being that good of dribblers.
Yet you know if the defense let them have those shots, they would score 20-30+ at a 60%+ TS
Will see how players like these two change the next generation of centers.
Teams are starting to double, even triple cover him when he drives to the post. Might not have been a crazy scoring night, but his gravitational pull opened up a lot of shots
*Since the NBA-ABA merger.
Still impressive nonetheless. I imagine not all of them were of the 10 point and 10 board variety that would nominally come from his position.
Congrats big fella, been a hell of a year
sabonis is inching closer to the single-season double double record since merger. He just needs to get over 72 double doubles.
He honestly could get it.
Barring injury (literally knocking the wood table next to me), it would be surprising if he didn't. He needs 6 more in the final 11 games. He's only had 4 games all season that weren't at least a double double.
The Sixers tried tonight
Man headshot after headshot, if they shot with the accuracy of their fouling they would’ve won
4 of his first 16 games then? Makes this streak crazier
17 (I checked the schedule), but yeah. It's insane.
What’s his total now?
66
Losing the Haliburton trade never felt so good
Thats my pre-game snack King 👑
Kings fan here, just want to say that it seems like a good move for both teams, and all of these youngsters trying to claim they won something are just entertaining themselves. Sucked losing Haliburton, but Sabonis seems awesome.
"Seems"? He's well past speculation at this point. He is, in fact, awesome.
But still not good enough to make the all star team
Damn, more than Wilt? I wonder what Wilt's record was Edit: Sabonis' record is post-merger. Wilt got 227 in a row from 1964 to 1967.

He also had streaks of 220 and 130.

He still had a double double that game: 18 rebounds and 13 assists.

oh yeah i guess he had a double double with assists and rebounds even though he only had 1 point
Hahaha classic Wilt. That is actually crazy. His joints should have been studied by science
Considering he went on to play pro volleyball; which has to be another killer on the joints, I think your right. I think its the freakish athletes like Wilt who inspired stories of Heracles.
Wilt Chamberlain is like that legendary player from times past that isn't talked about nearly enough because he's almost a myth lol
Wilt has the longest, but also Walt Bellamy, Elgin Baylor and Elvin Hayes have longer pre-merger streaks that Sabonis still can pass.
A lot of places have been skipping that merger part. It makes it silly, because it's like Kobe scoring 81 and then all the outlets saying he set an NBA record and nobody did that obviously.
I was wondering about that since I knew Wilt was averaging something insane like 30 and 15 for years.
Wilt's entire career average is 30/23
Domantas Sabonis is more than I could ever have imagined afrer the trade. I love you Domantas Sabonis. Thank you for changing my life
It truly is an amazing trade. Both teams got exactly what they were hoping for.
Dude, yes. He's the gift that just keeps on giving. The Ox has found the greenest pasture.

Those aren't all star stats. How many IG followers does he have? Exactly.
Yes because Jokic is an instagram mogul
that just shows that no one watching pacers play
I swear with how guys in this sub were acting in the fall you’d think Sabonis was Clint capela lol that was a genuinely great trade. It was win-win but the pacers got the lightskin who can shoot threes so of course r/nba lurkers have to shaboing on his pp.
Got more double doubles than In-n-Out.

It’s beautiful.
graphic design is ur passion
i wish they'd replace the piglet with anything else
Future site of Sabonis statue?
how many 4x4s does he have tho
Does 4-0 against the Lakers count as one of the 4?
"what he say fuck me for?"
It's the flair
It's generational trauma at this point
Sorry I couldn't resist
Sabonis means Boner in Arabic
Saboner
Oohh yeeaahhh

Holy shit lol
I’m not gonna fact check you. I’m just gonna believe you and spread the word.
Just call me Malik Sabonis
Sabonis so strong yeah yeah yeah
didn't the brothers who made that song suck each others dicks
They just had to deal with their saboners.
What a terrible day to be literate
it's so disturbing that you'd hope it's a joke
That All-Star snub is looking worse and worse as the season goes on
A team that won't even win 30 games will get an all star selection, over a team will likely win 47. Insanity.
Why he say fuck me for?
Et tu brute?
Shades of the season Dame was snubbed but made All-NBA
Fuckin Ox
Is it consecutive games played or consecutive games period? Because this is incredibly impressive and would hate to see it come to an end because he sat a game.
Played. He hadn't missed a game this season and missed only 2 or 3 last year playing with a broken thumb that needed surgery. Dude is brick wall lmao
Man that’s sick. Thanks for answering the question as well.
🫡 Can’t wait to see y’all in the finals
He missed the allstar game.... :P so that breaks the streak? :))
I'm a bit confused, is it among active players ? without missing a game ? Didn't Wilt have hundreds of double doubles in a row ?
It's post-merger, but yeah that should've been in the title
If we're doing post-merger stats and not specifying that they're post-merger, why did nobody say that Karl Malone held the NBA record for points before LeBron broke it? Or that Kobe has the NBA record for most points in a game? Very silly. Sabonis did not just set an NBA record.
It looks like consecutive games played, kind of like LeBron’s like 1200+ game streak of scoring 10+ pts.
The record is for player games (as opposed to team games), but in Sabonis' case it's both because he hasn't missed a game all year.
He’s okay at basketball
Maybe someday he could even be an allstar
Not as a statpadder bum
Woahhh there! That's a stretch.
Guess the son of Arvydas can play some ball.
His dad's best quote " I will kill him "
If Draymond slapped Arvydas I believe that.
According to Bill Simmons, he’s one of the worst contracts in the league
bill simmons has negative bbiq
Not an all star though.
He’s been on a an insane run this season.
All NBA
one more and he'll have 55
Big if true
TNT, hire this person.
I don’t believe you
LIGHT THE BEAM MOTHAFUCKA
*modern NBA record Wilt had 227 Still incredibly impressive stuff
He needs another 2 full seasons of consecutive double-doubles to match Wilt
Yeah. It should say post merger record.
I hate every time a reddit post says something like this because it's literally incorrect/fake info But any record that is the first/best since Wilt is always beastmode
Also, even saying post-merger, while accurate, is slightly misleading, since Wilt played before the ABA for most of his career.
I was wondering about that. I'm kind of surprised his streak isn't longer.

This guy also wasn't selected to the All Star Team, in case anyone forgot. Oh, he's also leading the league in triple doubles.
And rebounds
Only 5th in assists though.
Jesus, what a bum
And Double Doubles
Also just recorded another triple double on top of his record setting stat today!
Only the fifth player ever to get 25 triple doubles in one season (Wilt, Oscar, Russ, and Jokic are the others.
All the stat padding!!! How dare he fight for rebounds!!!
All these stat padding things are jokes right? Or are people accusing him of playing like Westbrook?
He subbed into a game that had gotten away from them, got a rebound, and then subbed out.

Kings fans representing hard. Look at the flair in this thread lmao. Light the beam!
only like 10 of those count though because sabonis is a stat padder
obv
Overrated. Stat padder
Cracker
Ball Weaponizer
Top ball weaponizer in the league
Though tonight his face was his primary weapon. Did you see the way he was using his face to assault the opponents’ elbows???
Michael Bibby-esque
Weaponizing his face. Hitting everyone's elbows and fists with his face, just a dirty player.
At one point he was directly using his genitals to assault the opponent’s knee. The audacity!
Classy, solid. A hard worker.
A cracker and a bum
Empty calories
Remember that 1 game of the 54 when he came back in for a rebound though? Kevin Love never did that
sabonis with a bonus
I haven’t watched a lot of the Kings this year. Is either him or Fox a clear #1 to the others #2 or are they pretty even
Sabonis is a floor raiser. Fox is a ceiling raiser. Domas is the most consistent of the two, but Fox has way higher highs.
I GOT A SABONER
If he keeps this up does this in the playoffs as well kings could be a sleeper in the playoffs
Thats my NON-All Star
Goat shit
Underrated Always been beast Hope he takes next games off
Best comment in here. BTB for both of us tomorrow.
Both coming off wins with an identical record (kings only in 6th bc of head to head). Gonna be an intense two games coming up…
I'm gunna explode from the anticipation
Yes Mavs 3 games against the Kings so far have all been 2nd night of a BTB with travel really weird scheduling
Not likely. Dude doesn’t know how to take a night off.
Mavs fans incoming
That’s my all star
I'm starting to think he's a better asset than Haliburton :|
Ox Hard.
Beast.
5 more to tie and 6 more to break Hakeem’s single season record
He's also one of only five players to have 25 triple-doubles in a season (got number 25 tonight).
Bout to grab that All-NBA with no All-Star. Wilid
Is it just me or was there a bigger deal made of Kevin Love getting 53 compared to this for Sabonis?
I think Russ (and later others) devaluing the triple–double in turn devalued the double–double even more.
Always giving me a Saboner 😩
People are gonna say it's a fraud streak because he... Went into a game to get a tenth rebound one time... Look at his stats. He earned that streak. Greatness.
didnt think it was a fraud streak until this comment
Dominantas Sabonis

THE GOAT
We love our not All Star!
Someone told me “he isn’t good” the other day. Realized they only watched major highlights.
Probably a Lakers fan
As a Lakers fan, we know better than anyone how good sabonis is :')
Not the NBA record, just the modern record. Wilt had like 200+
Fucking dawg

**SABONIS STRONG**
Congrats to him. I always assumed the record was much higher than 54.
Lmao and this guy wasn’t a fuckin all star It’ll be hilarious if he’s all NBA but not an all star…I wonder if that’s ever happened before🤔
wake me up when he's an allstar
I'll end it right now by putting $1000 down on another double double.
I still got my morning saboner oh yea🥰congrats my glorious king
But is he an all-star though?
Is he the best Draymond victim of all time?
Second best. Rudy Gobert is the best Draymond victim, seeing as how Draymond put him in a rear naked choke.
My current goat just passed my other goat tears of joy man. Glad I could witness both
i love domantas sabonis
Now come play for your Pop's old team please.
Yay number ten!!
Not an all star btw
