Sets record with 23 assists Nembhard recorded 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 23 assists, nine rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 win over the Bulls.
The Scoop: Nembhard was given the keys to the offense due to the majority of the team's rotation players being out and Cooper Flagg (ankle) exiting early. He did not disappoint, as he set a Mavericks rookie record for assists in a game, bypassing coach Jason Kidd's previous record. On top of his playmaking, Nemhard added 15 points and ended up one rebound shy of a triple-double. The rookie guard concludes the season with four double-doubles and his name engraved in Mavericks history. Apr 13 3:05 ET |
