Nikola Jokić once again made history in the Denver Nuggets’ 122-88 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The Serbian big man tied the record for the most triple-doubles to open a season. With this accomplishment, he joined Oscar Robertson (1961-62) and former teammate Russell Westbrook (2020-21) to accomplish this feat. Jokić has recorded a triple-double in all of Denver’s four games this season. In the win over the Pelicans, Denver’s star did it all. He recorded a stat-line of 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists while shooting 10-for-15 from the field. Jokić will have a chance to become the first player in NBA history to record five straight triple-doubles to start a season when the Nuggets play the Trail Blazers in Portland on Halloween. That game will also kick off Group Play for the Emirates NBA Cup.
