Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball became the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double, achieving the feat against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday at age 20 years, 15 days.

LeBron James had previously been the youngest to get a triple-double, doing so at 20 years, 20 days.

Ball completed his triple-double when he grabbed his 10th rebound early in the fourth quarter. He also had 13 points and 11 assists.

Ball recorded his first career triple-double in just his 13th game, much quicker than opposing coach Jason Kidd, who needed 68 games to get his first.
