Giddey passes Jordan with another triple‑double

Josh Giddey’s rise in Chicago continues at a stunning pace. Against the Clippers, the 23‑year‑old guard delivered the 29th triple‑double of his career — 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists — surpassing none other than Michael Jordan on the Bulls’ all‑time list. Now in just his second season with Chicago, Giddey has climbed to 19th place in NBA history for career triple‑doubles, trailing only Nikola Jokic this year with his eleventh of the campaign. March has become his personal showcase, with numbers hovering around triple‑double averages.

Yet the individual brilliance contrasts sharply with the team’s struggles: the loss to the Clippers marked Chicago’s fifteenth defeat in eighteen games. Giddey acknowledged the bittersweet context, stressing that winning remains the priority despite the accolades. His next milestone is within reach — Ben Simmons’ Australian record of 33 triple‑doubles, a target that now feels almost inevitable.
