PHOENIX, Ariz. – It’s official, no Utah Jazz player has ever had as many points and rebounds double-doubles in a season as center Rudy Gobert.
In a 118-97 win against the Phoenix Suns, Gobert turned in 17 points and 13 rebounds to complete his 63rd double-double of the season, the most in a season in franchise. The mark surpasses Karl Malone’s 62 points and rebounds double-doubles in the 1987-88 season.
