Dallas Mavericks sensation Luka Doncic became the first NBA player to register multiple triple-doubles as a teenager.

Mavs rookie Doncic posted 35 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in a 123-120 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.

The 19-year-old guard also became the first teenager in NBA history to record a 30-point triple-double.
