Dec 4, 2024 10:24 am: Kessler accumulated 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 133-106 loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Kessler was extremely efficient on both ends of the court despite the blowout loss, missing just one of his shots from the field and recording his fourth straight double-double. It was also his fifth double-double across his last six outings since returning from a hip injury that sidelined him for six contests between Nov. 12 and Nov. 21. Kessler is averaging 13.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game in that stretch.
