What happened: Darius Acuff Jr. has scored 259 points through his first 10 NBA games. The total is the highest by any player in his first 10 career games since Michael Jordan scored 273 in 1984.
Why it matters: The scoring run cements a historic start for Acuff, the same player who matched Oscar Robertson's 1960-61 start with 259 points and 74 assists through 10 games. The output solidifies his early role as the primary offensive engine in Sacramento's backcourt.
By the numbers: Acuff has recorded 25.9 points per game, 3.8 rebounds per game and 7.4 assists per game in 2026-27 through 10 games.
What to watch: Sacramento hosts the Orlando Magic on Tuesday at 10:00 PM ET.
