Three players etched their names in NBA triple-double history Friday. Most casual fans would not be able to name them, even if they were given multiple guesses.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack and Utah Jazz wings John Konchar and Bez Mbeng each recorded triple-doubles in the Jazz’s 147-101 drubbing at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The three NBA benchwarmers became the first trio to ever record triple-doubles in the same game.

Mashack technically recorded a quadruple-double, but not the good kind. He tallied 13 points, 15 rebounds, 14 assists, and had 10 turnovers across 38 minutes. Konchar and Mbeng both notched their triple-doubles while coming off the Jazz bench.

What would have been an otherwise amazing record felt like another indictment against the current NBA lottery rules. Utah and Memphis were both playing their third-stringers in what was a game both tanking teams were probably hoping to lose. Mashack was a game-worst -46 despite contributing a triple-double.

Imagine if the feat was done by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray in a hard-fought contest against Victor Wembanyama. LeBron James turning back the clock to match Luka Doncic with a triple-double against old pal Russell Westbrook would have been special, too.

The moment would have been celebrated as a highlight of the season. Instead, the feat happened in a game that had the same energy as most competitive runs at your local YMCA.
