Nikola Jokic Makes NBA History with Triple-Double Feat Against Every Team

Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets etched his name into the annals of NBA history by becoming just the fourth player to achieve a remarkable milestone – recording a triple-double against every team in the league.

In the Nuggets’ commanding 130-110 victory over the Washington Wizards on Thursday night, Jokic delivered a masterful performance, going a perfect 10-for-10 from the field while tallying 21 points, 19 rebounds, and 15 assists.

The Serbian sensation’s triple-double prowess has been nothing short of exceptional, marking his 16th of the season, trailing only Domantas Sabonis’ 18 in the league.

Jokic’s near-flawless display wasn’t the sole highlight for the defending champion Nuggets, as Michael Porter Jr. added 22 points and 11 rebounds to fuel their return from the All-Star break, snapping a three-game losing streak.

Impressively, Jokic’s triple-double quest was nearly accomplished in the first half alone, amassing 10 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists before halftime. His stellar performance solidifies his place among the NBA’s elite.

Joining the esteemed company of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Maurice Stokes, Jokic’s feat underscores his unparalleled versatility and impact on the court.

Additionally, Jamal Murray’s return to action after missing Denver’s previous game due to tibia inflammation further bolstered the Nuggets’ winning effort, contributing 18 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals to secure the commanding victory.
