Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic Becomes 4th Player in NBA History With Triple-Double Against Every Team

More history for the two-time MVP! Nuggets’ star and reigning NBA champ Nikola Jokic secured another piece of history on Thursday night as the NBA restarts for the post-All-Star break stretch run. Jokic tallied 21 points, 19 rebounds and 15 assists on perfect 10-for-10 shooting in a win over the Wizards (130-110). That made him the fourth player in NBA history with a triple-double against every opponent in the NBA. Only LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Maurice Stokes reside on that list. Jokic now has 120 career triple-doubles at the age of 29, which places him fourth all-time. The Joker has registered a triple-double in almost 20 percent of the games he’s played through nine seasons. He’s on pace to be the all-time triple-double leader (200+) if he plays beyond age 36, or at least until Luka Doncic catches up. For now, it’s another ‘nugget’ of history for Jokic.

Fun Fact: Domantas Sabonis (Kings) actually leads the NBA in triple-doubles this season (18). It was Jokic’s 16th of the year.
