Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets secured a key victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on April 11th, 2025 by a final score of 117-109. The Nuggets won their second-straight game after the unsuspecting firing of Michael Malone. It was a crucial win for Denver considering the playoff implications at stake in the Western Conference and a massive confidence builder for the squad as a whole. However, Jokić, also made history yet again.
By recording a stat-line of 26 points, 13 assists, and 16 total rebounds, the Serbian sensation became the third player (and the first center) in league history to average a triple-double for a whole season. He joins his teammate, Russell Westbrook, and Milwaukee Bucks legend, Oscar Robertson, to accomplish such a feat. As of April 12th, 2025, Jokić is tallying 29.8 points, 10.3 assists, and 12.8 total rebounds per game which will certainly assist with his case for MVP.
