“Clingan’s eight Field Goals are most of them without a mistake in a game of a Trail Blazer player since February 9, 2000 (Arvydas Sabonis).”

“Clingans 8-against-8 shooting performance is also tied to the second most common making without a mistake in a game of every rookie in the history of Trail Blazers.”

Clingan also recorded a block and seven rebounds in the 146-117 defeat of the Trail Blazers against the Nuggets.

The two-time NCAA champion was selected after an outstanding career at the Huskies by the Trail Blazers No. 7 in the NBA draft 2024.
