Wizards' Will Riley accomplishes rare feat with latest performance

Rookie Will Riley turned in another 30-point performance on Sunday, leading the Washington Wizards on the second night of a back-to-back set on the road. Riley produced 30 points, six assists and four rebounds in a 121-115 loss against the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center. He finished by shooting 9-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-7 from 3-point range, in 35 minutes off the bench.

The 21st overall pick became the first Wizards rookie since Calbert Cheaney in February 1994 to record consecutive 30-point games after scoring 31 on Saturday. He is the third rookie to do so this season, joining Cooper Flagg and Maxime Raynaud. "He has really done this for a while now, maybe not 30 every night," Wizards coach Brian Keefe said.

"But back-to-back 30s is impressive. You see his confidence growing, his skill set. His ability to make tough shots, get to the free-throw line.

He is just growing. He is playing really well. " All-Rookie vibes 👀 pic.
