De’Aaron Fox played an incredible game, setting multiple career-highs in the process.

There goes that man, De’Aaron! Fox was electric tonight, notching his first career triple-double with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists on 9-13 shooting from the field (3-4 3PT, 10-11 FT).

In addition to the triple-double, Fox set a career-high in: points, assists, and free throws made while tying a career-high in defensive rebounds. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, according to Bleacher Report De’Aaron Fox is the youngest player in NBA history to score at least 30 points while grabbing at least 10 rebounds and 15 assists.

Fox is having a phenomenal season and is an early candidate for Most Improved Player. Over the Kings five-game win streak, Fox is averaging 24.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 11 assists on .587 percent shooting from the field. If he keeps this up over the course of the season, he could very well earn a spot on the Western Conference All-Star team.
