Philadelphia 76ers forward Trendon Watford had the best game of his five-year NBA career on Saturday after he recorded his first triple-double in the team’s 130-120 win over the Toronto Raptors. Watford was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season in place of Jabari Walker, who had started the last four games, and he took full advantage of his opportunity. The 25-year-old finished the game with 20 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists and shot an efficient 8-of-10 from the field. His rebounds and assists were both career highs, as well as game highs. Watford joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only 76ers players to record 20-plus points, 15-plus rebounds, 10-plus assists and shoot 80%. He also became the first undrafted 76ers player with a triple-double since T.J. McConnell who did it in 2018. Coming into the game, Watford had career averages of 7.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, but in his first year with the 76ers, he is now averaging 10.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.8 assis
