Pelicans' Frazier records unlikeliest triple-double

Russell Westbrook, James Harden, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Marc Gasol, Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, and Julius Randle: That was the exclusive list of players who had recorded a triple-double this season, entering Sunday's action.

Now you can add Tim Frazier to the list, if you even know where to find him.

Frazier - an undrafted point guard with only 86 career games under his belt heading into the Pelicans' matchup with the Suns - racked up 14 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds, five steals, and a block in nearly 38 minutes of action off the bench, carrying New Orleans past Phoenix on a night when Anthony Davis was far from his best.

Frazier was also a game-high plus-18 in the Pelicans' 120-119 overtime victory.

The Penn State product and D-League alumnus signed a two-year, $4-million contract in New Orleans this past summer after spending parts of the last two seasons with Portland and Philadelphia, and was projected as a third-stringer behind Jrue Holiday and Langston Galloway.

Instead, Holiday's early season absence and Galloway's ineffectiveness thrust Frazier into a starting role for the decimated Pelicans. More than a quarter of the way through the season, the 26-year-old trails only Davis among the team's minutes and scoring leaders, while handing out 128 more assists than any of his teammates.

While he's not much of an individual offensive threat or defensive presence, Frazier's 7.6 assists per game rank sixth in the Association, and his 2.95 assist-to-turnover ratio ranks 11th.
