JACKSON-DAVIS EARNS NEW NICKNAME FROM KLAY AFTER BIG GAME VS. CELTICS
Warriors rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis is shedding his "Baby T" nickname once and for all. After nearly securing the first double-double of his young NBA career in late October -- which would have been the case had one of his rebounds that night not been called back after the game -- Jackson-Davis officially accomplished the feat in Golden State's 132-126 win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night at Chase Center. The 23-year-old played a career-high 29 minutes in the overtime victory, finishing with 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting, 13 rebounds and one assist -- plus one monster block on Celtics star Jaylen Brown that shifted the game's momentum. The performance finally was enough to earn him a new moniker -- something promised to the rookie once he recorded his first double-double, and an announcement Warriors veteran Klay Thompson wasted no time in making.
