Philadelphia 76ers point guard and former ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcat T.J. McConnell never had a triple-double in his career at the UA or in his first two and a half seasons in the NBA, but that drought ended on Monday.Â
In the 108-92 win over the New York Knicks, McConnell filled up the stat sheet with 10 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 6 steals.Â
Per Sixers beat writer , McConnell is the only player in the NBA this season to rack up 10 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 6 steals in a game. And he also became the first player in franchise history to record a triple-double off the bench.
 Known for his vision and orchestrating a fluid offense, McConnell displayed just that in the win over the Knicks.Â
