Malachi Flynn may have only checked in for the final minutes of the game, but he became the most recent member of the NBA/G League Doubleheader Club, and the only player this season to have played in two games in one day.

Just seen our assistant trainer face for the first time all season...didn’t know who the hell he was 🤷🏾♂️🤣😷
