This Date in History // Sidney Wicks Sets Franchise Record

The single-most rebounds in an individual Trail Blazers game belongs to former NBA Rookie of the Year Sidney Wicks. Wicks accomplished this astonishing milestone in just his fourth year out of UCLA and, appropriately enough, did it in his hometown of Los Angeles in 1975. He hauled down 27 boards, a number unscathed for 40 years and counting.
