WASHINGTON \u2014 On Saturday night, Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson continued to build his case for his first All-Star nod, perhaps even the 2025-26 NBA Most Improved Player award.<\/p>\n

One evening after he recorded the second-fastest triple-double in NBA history \u2014 reaching 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists during the first half, after he logged only 16 minutes and 44 seconds of playing time \u2014 the 23-year-old recorded yet another triple-double.<\/p>\n

Johnson hit the milestone again Saturday in Washington, as a rebound with 3:06 remaining in the third quarter gave him 18 points, 10 boards and 10 assists.<\/p>\n

His Hawks led the Wizards 91-79 at that point.<\/p>\n

Johnson now has four triple-doubles in his 22 games played this season, his fifth year in the NBA. During his first four regular seasons combined, in which he appeared in 184 games, he notched a grand total of two triple-doubles.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Johnson finished with 21 points, 18 rebounds and 16 assists as the Hawks lost at home to the Denver Nuggets in a heartbreaker, 134-133.<\/p>\n

Johnson is the second player in Hawks history with consecutive triple-doubles, joining Bob Sura (2004).<\/p>\n
