Jakob Pöltl's Record-Breaking Ninth NBA Season

Jakob Pöltl, the Austrian NBA pioneer, has had a remarkable ninth season in the world's strongest basketball league. Despite missing 25 games due to injuries and enforced breaks, Pöltl managed to make a significant impact on the court.

In the 2022/23 season, Pöltl achieved career-best averages of 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, including 6.3 defensive rebounds. These impressive statistics made his ninth NBA season his most statistically successful to date.

Pöltl's offensive rebounding skills were also on display, as he secured 3.3 offensive rebounds per game, ranking him ninth in the league. He also grabbed 19 rebounds against both the Denver Nuggets and the Cleveland Cavaliers, demonstrating his dominance in the paint.

However, Pöltl's season was cut short due to a hand injury, which he sustained during the 2022/23 season. As a result, he did not play in the final game of the season against his former team, the San Antonio Spurs.

Despite the injury, Pöltl still managed to achieve his 100th career double-double in the NBA on Thursday. His previous record for double-doubles was 28, set in the 2021/22 season.

Pöltl's free throw percentage of 67.4% in the 2022/23 season was also his best in the league. He showcased his versatility by scoring 35 points against the Boston Celtics, demonstrating his ability to contribute offensively when needed.

The Toronto Raptors, Pöltl's team for the 2022/23 season, suffered a heavy defeat in the season opener of the NBA on Wednesday. Despite this, Pöltl's consistent performances throughout the season helped the team to maintain a respectable position in the standings.

As Pöltl recovers from his injuries, fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the court. At just 29 years old, Pöltl has already established himself as one of the most dominant centres in the NBA, and his future in the league looks bright.

In conclusion, despite missing 25 games due to injuries, Jakob Pöltl had a record-breaking ninth NBA season. His career-best averages, impressive rebounding skills, and high free throw percentage make him a valuable asset to any team. As he continues to recover from his injuries, fans can look forward to seeing more of Pöltl's dominance in the NBA.
