Alperen Sengun has entered the EuroBasket history books, becoming the youngest player ever to record a triple-double in the tournament.<\/p>\n
In Turkey\u2019s quarterfinal win over Poland,<\/a> the 23-year-old center delivered a stellar performance, posting 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists<\/strong> in just 30 minutes of action.<\/p>\n The Houston Rockets star is considered one of the frontrunners for the MVP award<\/strong>, but after the game, Sengun preferred to focus<\/a> on the team\u2019s success rather than his individual milestone:<\/p>\n “I\u2019m a team player, I\u2019m gonna do whatever it takes to win. The triple-double wouldn\u2019t have meant anything if we had lost today,”<\/em> Sengun said. “I\u2019m happy we won. I give my everything on defense and offense, and I\u2019m just happy. What more can I say? Now we\u2019ll celebrate a bit, then we\u2019ll watch the other games and get ready for the winner between Greece and Lithuania. They\u2019re two great teams, so we need to prepare the right way.”<\/em><\/p>\n After seven games, Sengun ranks 7th in points (21.6), 2nd in rebounds (10.9)<\/strong>, and 3rd in assists (7.1)<\/strong> at EuroBasket, solidifying his status as one of the tournament\u2019s brightest stars.<\/p>\n \n
