The Utah Jazz weren’t able to take down the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, but that didn’t stop Walker Kessler from having a big night.
The 23-year-old center scored 25 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and two steals during the game.
According to NBA.com/Stats, Kessler now joins Nikola Jokic as the only player in league history to record 25+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, and zero turnovers while shooting 100 percent from the field.
That’s a crazy stat line and a huge accomplishment, and it reminds everyone how special Kessler is.

Kessler is averaging 11.5 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, shooting 72.9 percent from the field.
This is his third season with the Jazz, and he has consistently proven himself and enhanced his game over the last several years.
Kessler has gotten better, but the Jazz have remained toward the bottom of the Western Conference.
Right now, they are the worst team in the West and hold a 14-44 record.
There have been rumors and speculation about Kessler and what’s ahead for him.
Will he stay with Utah or move to another squad in the years ahead?
According to some reports, teams have asked about Kessler, but the Jazz have refused to play ball or even discuss serious negotiations for a trade.
That means they want to hold onto him, but maybe their plans go beyond that.
Because they are sitting on a lot of draft assets and picks, they might make moves in the summer to build a stronger roster around Kessler.
If they see him as the future of the team, they need to take some action to get him even more support, especially since he is posting such powerful, Jokic-like numbers.
