Montenegrin national team player, Nikola Vučević, has been playing at the top level in the NBA for the entire season.

Baranin excels from match to match, and last night in Chicago's loss to Detroit (127:119), he achieved his first triple-double since 2023, and the sixth of his career.

In 36 minutes on the court, Vučević scored 20 points, had 10 rebounds and 6,75 assists. He missed only two field goals, both from outside the XNUMX line, and had two blocks and one steal.

Vučević had two triple-doubles at home and four on the road.

His last was on January 2023, 19 against Philadelphia, when he had 18 points, 10 rebounds, and XNUMX assists.

He achieved a triple-double in a Bulls jersey in 2021 against Boston (18 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists), while he had the remaining three in an Orlando jersey.

While playing for Orlando, Vučević achieved triple-doubles in matches against Golden State, Philadelphia, and Atlanta.

The game against Atlanta was the first in which he recorded a triple-double in his career - it was on December 2017, 31, when he finished the game with 13 points, 10 rebounds and XNUMX assists.

Vučević, therefore, was not enough for the Bulls last night, who suffered another defeat. White was the most efficient against Chicago with 22 points, Gidi scored 20.

On the other hand, Cunningham had 22 points and 15 assists.
