Jazz's Isaiah Collier puts up never-before-seen video game numbers in 48 minutes against Pacers

The Jazz have a lot to be excited about, as they've started to make progress in their rebuild.

They traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. on Tuesday, which meant the team was low on players for their game against the Pacers.

However, this didn't stop Isaiah Collier from having a career night against the Pacers on Tuesday, as he produced stats you'd only see in NBA2k.

For starters, it's not very common to see an NBA player play a full 48-minute game in the regular season, but Collier did just that on Tuesday.

Collier was averaging 23.8 minutes entering Tuesday's game, but his average went up to 24.4 from that game alone.

Enough of the minutes, though, as the assist total for Collier was the most impressive part of the night.

Collier had 22 assists and became the youngest player in NBA history with a 20+ assists game. He became the first player since Nikola Jokic to have 22+ assists in a game (Jokic - 3/7/25).

The second-year guard also had 17 points on the night in just his 8th start of the season.

Collier only had 5 assists in the first half, which means he had 17 of his 22 assists in the second half.

That is an NBA record for the most assists in a single half of a game in NBA history, beating Goran Dragic's previous mark of 15 assists.

His 22 assists and 17 points total for 67 points that Collier was responsible for on Tuesday night.
