Kings center Domantas Sabonis is turning in a historic season.
Sacramento's big man is on track to win his second-consecutive rebounds title and currently leads the league in triple-doubles recorded in the 2023-24 season. Impressive as both stats are within the scope of the current season, Sabonis has rewritten the record books with his double-doubles.
In the Kings' 108-96 win over the 76ers on March 25, Sabonis finished with 11 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. The performance marked Sabonis' 54th consecutive double-double, good for the longest single-season double-double streak since the ABA-NBA merger ahead of the 1976-77 season.
Sabonis has appeared in each of Sacramento's 71 games this season and can play in as many as 11 more, meaning his streak can reach a maximum of 65 games.
While Sabonis' streak is the longest single-season mark in the modern era, he still has some work to do to enter the all-time top 10. Here's where Sabonis' streak places him among a list of all-time greats.

Most consecutive double-doubles in NBA history
The time since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976 is considered the modern NBA era. Sabonis' streak of 54 consecutive games with a double-double tops the list of double-double streaks since the 1976-77 season.
Also on the list are former MVPs Moses Malone, Russell Westbrook, Bill Walton, Kevin Garnett and Charles Barkley.
| Rank | Player | Season | Streak |
| 1. | Domantas Sabonis | 2023-24 | 54 |
| 2. | Kevin Love | 2010-11 | 53 |
| 3. | Moses Malone | 1978-79 | 50 |
| 4. | Moses Malone | 1982-83 | 44 |
| 5. | Russell Westbrook | 2020-21 | 36 |
| 6. | Bill Walton | 1976-77 | 34 |
| 7. | Dwight Howard | 2010-11 | 33 |
| Kevin Garnett | 2005-06 | 33 | |
| 9. | Charles Barkley | 1986-87 | 28 |
| 10. | Blake Griffin | 2010-11 | 27 |
| John Stockton | 1988-89 | 27 |
Sabonis can't reach the top of the all-time list but he can enter the top 10. Wilt Chamberlain, whose name is unsurprisingly riddled throughout the all-time top 10, occupies first and 10th places. The 10th-longest streak is 56 games, a figure Sabonis is in line to reach this season.

If Sabonis' streak lasts through Sacramento's final game, his streak would be tied for eighth all-time.
| Rank | Player | Season | Streak |
| 1. | Wilt Chamberlain | 1966-67 | 81 |
| 2. | Wilt Chamberlain | 1963-64 | 80 |
| Wilt Chamberlain | 1961-62 | 80 | |
| 4. | Wilt Chamberlain | 1965-66 | 79 |
| Wilt Chamberlain | 1960-61 | 79 | |
| 6. | Elgin Baylor | 1960-61 | 70 |
| 7. | Wilt Chamberlain | 1967-68 | 66 |
| 8. | Walt Bellamy* | 1961-62 | 65 |
| 9. | Elvin Hayes | 1968-69 | 60 |
| 10. | Wilt Chamberlain | 1959-60 | 56 |
Chamberlain's top streaks were season-long events. The 1966-67 season was an 81-game season while the NBA season was made up of 80 games in both 1961-62 and 1963-64.
Bellamy's single-season streak reached 79 games per some accounts but is 65 games per Stathead. The 1961-62 season was Bellamy's rookie campaign and Stathead's database has Bellamy with a double-double in 77 of the 79 games in which rebounds were recorded.
