The Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> are playing out the string of a disappointing season, and they’ve got all kinds of journeymen getting into action, the kind of guys even intense basketball fans have barely heard of.<\/p>\n

Like Rayan Rupert. Rupert, on Sunday, put up one of the craziest, most unexpected stat lines of the season.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies may not have beaten the Bucks<\/a>, but Rupert joined incredibly rare NBA history.<\/p>\n

He finished Sunday’s game with 31 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and a block.<\/p>\n

He’s only the fifth player 21 or younger in NBA history to have 30\/10\/10\/4. The other four are LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Isiah Thomas and Magic<\/a> Johnson.<\/p>\n

Is there a Hall of Fame career coming for Rupert? Maybe not.<\/p>\n

Who is Rayan Rupert?<\/p>\n

Rupert is a 21-year old big guard for the Grizzlies.<\/p>\n

He’s 6-foot-7 and originally from France.<\/p>\n

The Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> took him with the No. 43 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft — before that, he was playing for the New Zealand Breakers.<\/p>\n

He’s on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies as the 2025-26 season winds down.<\/p>\n

And now he’s in an absurd piece of NBA history.<\/p>\n
