There's a pretty important component to triple-doubles in the NBA: Three stats need to be in double digits.
You might think that's self-explanatory, but there's a reason it's quite notable when it comes to Chicago Bulls forward Lachlan Olbrich.
Before Sunday, Olbrich had never had an NBA game with double-digit points.
Before Sunday, Olbrich had never had an NBA game with double-digit rebounds.
And before Sunday, Olbrich had never had an NBA game with double-digit assists.
On Sunday, he went for 10 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.
It might just be the most improbable triple-double in NBA history.

Olbrich was the 55th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. A 6-foot-8 Australian, he was never viewed as a top prospect.
This season, even after his big night, he's averaging just 2.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 37 games at the NBA level.
Yet somehow, with end-of-season antics in full force, Olbrich got himself a triple-double.

— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) April 13, 2026There were lots of bizarre stats put up down the stretch of the season by players playing for teams that are out of the playoff picture.
An Olbrich triple-double counts as one of the oddest happenings in the closing weeks of the season, for sure.
