Highlights

Jock Landale recorded his 14th double-digit scoring game of the season in a loss for the Grizzlies

Jock Landale's career-year shows no signs of slowing down after another impressive performance off the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies.

On an otherwise quiet night for Aussies in the NBA, Landale had his 14th double-digit scoring game from 22 appearances this season in his team's hard-fought loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

The 30-year-old, who stepped up to the plate when first-choice big man Zach Edey was sidelined with injury, is averaging more than five points better than his career mark in the NBA with 11 points per game this season compared to his career average of 5.9 points per game.

While he didn't attempt a three against the Spurs, Landale has improved his percentage from distance from 32.4% for his career to 44.4% this season.
