Doncic’s triple-double streak ends with early exit

NBA

DALLAS — Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic‘s streak of seven straight triple-doubles was snapped Wednesday, when he exited a 109-99 win over the Golden State Warriors early due to left hamstring soreness.

Doncic finished with 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists before checking out with 6:46 remaining in the game. The Mavs announced soon afterward that he would not return.

Doncic’s triple-double streak is tied for the third longest in NBA history, trailing only Russell Westbrook (11 straight) and Wilt Chamberlain (seven).

During the streak, Doncic set NBA records for the most consecutive triple-doubles with at least 35 points (five) and 30 points (six).

The Mavs, who have won four in a row, travel to Oklahoma City to play the second game of a back-to-back Thursday night.

Coach Jason Kidd said the Mavs are uncertain whether Doncic will join the team on the trip to Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
