A “double double” in basketball refers to a player achieving double digits (10 or more) in two different statistical categories during a single game. The most common categories for a double double are points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. For example, a player might score 12 points and grab 10 rebounds, or have 10 assists and 10 rebounds in one game. Achieving a double double is seen as a sign of well-rounded play, demonstrating that the player contributes in multiple areas of the game.
