Former Tennessee guard Jahmai Mashack had a career night on Friday, recording his first career triple-double with 13 points, 15 rebounds, and 14 assists for the Memphis Grizzlies in a 147-101 loss to the Utah Jazz. Mashack led the Grizzlies in rebounds and assists during his 48 minutes on the court, while Jazz guard Kennedy Chandler, another former Vol, posted 26 points and 10 assists in the win.

Why it matters

Mashack's historic performance is a bright spot for the struggling Grizzlies, who are in tank mode at the end of the season. The triple-double showcases Mashack's versatility and potential as a do-it-all player in the NBA. Meanwhile, Chandler's strong showing continues his impressive rookie campaign with the Jazz.

The details

Mashack was one of just six players who saw time on the court Friday as the Grizzlies deal with a number of injuries late in the season. He took full advantage of his opportunity, stuffing the stat sheet with 13 points, 15 rebounds, and 14 assists. Mashack knocked down 6-of-13 attempts from the floor despite going 0-of-2 from the three-point line. Technically, Mashack went for a quadruple-double if you factor in his 10 turnovers on the night.

  • Mashack recorded his first career triple-double on Friday, April 11, 2026.
