Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) became the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double during a season on Friday.
His now teammate Russell Westbrook (four times) and Oscar Robertson are the other two names on this exclusive list, the NBA reported.

The Serbian genius sealed his 34th triple-double of the season in his Nuggets' crucial 117-109 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

The three-time NBA MVP (2021, 2022 and 2024) had 26 points (11-of-19 shooting), 16 rebounds and 13 assists against Memphis.

With only one regular season game remaining, the Balkan has a spectacular average of 29.8 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game.

In a very tight Western Conference, the Nuggets are in fourth place with a 49-32 record.
