Jakob Poeltl Notches Double-Double As Starter
5 years agoSan Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl replaced LaMarcus Aldridge (thumb) in the starting lineup on Monday against Chicago and went on to produce his second double-double of the season with 16 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. He also had three blocks, while shooting 7-for-12 from the field and 2-for-8 from the charity stripe. The Austrian logged 36 minutes, which is more than double the amount he has averaged this month. He hasn't done much in limited minutes but does boast a nice 10-game streak with two-plus blocks. Poeltl could be a big factor again on Wednesday against Utah if Aldridge remains out.
