LaMelo Ball last night:
✅ 32 PTS
✅ 11 REB
✅ 8 AST
Ball was the game’s outright leader in all three categories.
The only player in NBA history to accomplish this feat at a younger age than Ball (20 years, 89 days) is Luka Doncic. pic.twitter.com/vbzRV6fm4E10:11 AM

There are some teams who can play without their star and get away with it. Mavs don’t appear to be one of those teams. They’re 8-14 the last 2+yrs when Luka doesn’t play (Correcting earlier Tweet), and that includes the Dec 2019 game vs MIA when he played 1:40 before getting hurt – 1:12 AM
