  "account": "Just days into his NBA career, Memphis Grizzlies rookie Cameron Boozer has achieved something few others of his ilk can claim - a triple-double. The accomplishment, which he accomplished on October 29, 2026, against the Portland Trail Blazers, is a rare feat that typically only occurs for seasoned players. Notably, it is just the second time in history that a rookie has achieved this milestone by the fifth game of a season, following Lonzo Ball's performance with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2017-18 campaign.\n\nBoozer's impressive showing included scoring 18 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and dishing out 12 assists. With this performance, the former Duke star has established himself as a major contender for the prestigious Rookie of the Year award. The Memphis Grizzlies are currently atop the standings with a perfect 5-0 record, suggesting that Boozer's standout play may be indicative of his potential to lead the team to continued success.",
