SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Jazz center Oscar Tshiebwe pulled off an unbelievable task as he played in three professional basketball games in a 24-hour period.
It started on Sunday night as the Jazz hosted the New Orleans Pelicans at Delta Center.

Oscar Tshiebwe: Three Games, Two Leagues, One Day
Tshiebwe posted NBA career highs in points and rebounds as he put up an efficient double-double.
The sophomore big man is on a two-way contract, which means he is shared between the Utah Jazz and the team’s G-League affiliate.
On Monday morning, Tshiebwe opted to get some more court time. He suited up, and started, for the Salt Lake City Stars against the Iowa Wolves. He posted another career-high, nabbing 30 rebounds to go along with his 21 points on 8/12 shooting.

But Tshiebwe wasn’t done there.
He, once again, decided to make himself available for the Jazz on Monday night against the Detroit Pistons. Tshiebwe logged just six minutes but still put up one point, three rebounds, and an assist.
Jazz Host Red-Hot Pistons To Close Out Homestand
As the NBA season enters the final stretch, Utah and Detroit find themselves in vastly different positions. The Jazz own the worst record in the Western Conference and are 3-7 in their last 10. Meanwhile, Detroit has the second-best record in the NBA through the last ten games and looks to continue rising in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
This will be the second and final matchup between these teams this season. The Jazz traveled to the Motor City on Thursday, December 19, and came out with a 126-119 win.
After Monday’s game, the Jazz will hit the road for a massively important East Coast trip.
