It marked the first triple-double by any player that included blocks since Jan. 22, 2021.
Atlanta Hawks big man Clint Capela did so against the Minnesota Timberwolves when he logged 13 points, 19 rebounds and 10 blocks.

2020 first-round pick Devin Vassell added 25 points and six assists while fellow youngsters Jeremy Sochan, Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley also eclipsed double-digit scoring figures.
