NBA star Nikola Jokić became the third player in league history to average a triple-double for the season, achieving the milestone alongside Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson. Despite joining such illustrious company, Jokić seemed indifferent to his achievement, saying “It’s nice. I didn’t do that before.” The Serbian forward averaged 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 12 assists in the Denver Nuggets’ 117-109 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, securing his fourth triple-double of the season and guaranteeing a career-high in assists for the first time. Jokić’s impressive performance came as the Nuggets rallied late to claim the win, with coach David Adelman praising Jokić’s incredible season, saying “If he doesn’t win the MVP, it’s the greatest season of all time not to win the MVP.”
