In basketball, what does the term “triple-double” signify?
Recording double digits in three statistical categories
In basketball, a triple-double is a statistical achievement where a player records a double-digit total, that is, 10 or more, in any three of the five main statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, in a single game.
It does not mean doubling any single statistic or making consecutive dunks or fouls, but achieving double figures across three distinct categories.
Hence, a triple-double signifies recording double digits in three statistical categories.
