“Dejounte Murray has achieved something not even David Robinson or Tim Duncan accomplished”: The Spurs guard makes franchise history by recording 9 triple-doubles in a single season

With his 25/12/10 performance against the Nets, Dejounte Murray joins David Robinson as only the 2nd player in Spurs history to record triple-doubles in consecutive games.

Recording a triple-double is a big achievement in itself. But recording triple-doubles in back-to-back games requires serious talent that only a handful of players in the league possess. Dejounte Murray has turned into one of those promising players.

After having recorded 23/10/14 on Wednesday night against the Thunder, Murray put up yet another triple-double against the Nets. In the Spurs’ 117-102 loss to James Harden and co., the 25-year-old dropped 25 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists, making him only the 2nd player in franchise history to record triple-doubles in consecutive games.

Murray also makes Spurs organization history by becoming the only player to record 9 triple-doubles in a single season. And is now only 1 triple-double away from tying David Robinson’s all-time franchise record.
