Golden State Warriors

Yaxel Lendeborg posted 31 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, continuing the best Warriors rookie scoring start since Wilt Chamberlain

Yaxel Lendeborg continues to be one of the biggest surprises of the early NBA season. The Warriors rookie posted 31 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in a road win over Denver.

With 87 points through his first four games, Lendeborg has scored the most by a Warriors rookie over that span since Wilt Chamberlain in 1959. Stephen Curry was the last Golden State rookie to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a game.

“He’s as strong as an ox and skilled,” Steve Kerr said. “For a rookie to be that advanced already, it’s extremely rare.”
