Trayce Jackson-Davis' impressive rookie campaign continued on Monday night. The former Indiana star made Golden State Warriors history with his performance off the bench.

Jackson-Davis was a perfect nine-of-nine from the floor in Monday's 119-112 loss to the New York Knicks. He finished the game with 19 points, nine rebounds three blocks and two assists.

Per Golden State's social media pages, Jackson-Davis became the first Warriors rookie in the shot clock era to shoot nine-of-nine "or better" from the field in a single game.

Jackson-Davis has scored in double figures in each of his last five appearances with the Warriors. In a March 11 matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, the former Hoosier scored 13 points, collected 10 rebounds and dished out five assists in a 112-102 win.

The rookie also posterized NBA sensation Victor Wembanyama with a one-handed slam in the game. Jackson-Davis went viral after that impressive jam.

Jackson-Davis also had a big block on superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in a matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks on March 6.

In his first NBA season, Jackson-Davis is averaging 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and one block per game. He's also been incredibly efficient, shooting at a 72% clip on the year.
