Former Indiana star Trayce Jackson-Davis made history with the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. He made all nine of his shots from the field, and finished the game with 19 points, nine rebounds and three blocks in a game against the New York Knicks.

Trayce Jackson-Davis' impressive rookie campaign continued on Monday night. The former Indiana star made Golden State Warriors history with his performance off the bench.

Jackson-Davis was a perfect 9-for-9 from the floor in Monday's 119-112 loss to the New York Knicks. He finished the game with 19 points, nine rebounds three blocks and two assists.

Per Golden State's social media pages, Jackson-Davis became the first Warriors rookie in the shot clock era to shoot 9-of-9 “or better" from the field in a single game.

Jackson-Davis has scored in double figures in each of his last five appearances with the Warriors. In a March 11 matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, the former Hoosier scored 13 points, collected 10 rebounds and dished out five assists in a 112-102 win.

The rookie also posterized NBA sensation Victor Wembanyama with a one-handed slam in the game. Jackson-Davis went viral after that impressive jam.

Jackson-Davis also had a big block on superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in a matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks on March 6.

In his first NBA season, Jackson-Davis is averaging 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and one block per game. He's also been incredibly efficient, shooting at a 72% clip on the year.
