Edmond Sumner, a basketball player for Zalgiris, came very close to a historic achievement in last night’s win against Milano.
The American recorded a Performance Index Rating (PIR) of 28 in just 15 minutes on the court, narrowly missing out on a historic feat. Interestingly, this is the second-highest PIR recorded by a player who played 15 minutes or less. Sumner scored 17 points without missing a shot, going 6/6 from the field. Additionally, he contributed five assists and two steals against Milano.
With NBA experience, Sumner joins elite company in this statistical category. According to “Basket News,” the best performance in this category belongs to Giannis Bourousis, who recorded a PIR of 32 in 12 minutes on the court. Edmond Sumner achieved a PIR of 28 in 15 minutes and six seconds, while Iffe Lundberg matched the same PIR in two seconds more on the court. Sumner achieved this feat against Milano this season in just 15 minutes and eight seconds on the court.
