The 'NBA 30-point triple-doubles' quiz

While Joel Embiid has been one of the faces of the “load management,” era in the NBA, he proved he can still be productive in big minutes by posting a triple-double in an overtime win over the Houston Rockets. 

Embiid returned from a night off against the Phoenix Suns (the second night of a back-to-back for Philly) to score 32 points, haul in 15 rebounds and dish out 10 assists in over 45 minutes of game time. The game also happened to be on the two-year anniversary of his 70-point explosion against San Antonio. 

“Maybe I should have a baby on January 22,” he said with a chuckle after the win. 

“When I get home, me and my wife are going to start talking about it and making those calculations.”

Embiid has already surpassed his games played from 2024-25 with 24 this season in 43 opportunities, averaging 24.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 30.3 minutes-per-game for the 24-19 Sixers. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. The triple-double was Embiid’s ninth of his career, and his sixth with at least 30 points. With that being said, can you name the NBA players with multiple 30-point triple-doubles in their career?

Good luck!
