Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets will average a triple-double for the season, a rare achievement that places him among only three players in NBA history to accomplish this feat. He reached a statistical certainty with his fourth assist in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies, bringing his season total to 700 assists. The previous players to achieve this milestone are Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson.

This season, Jokic has already tallied 34 triple-doubles, surpassing the combined total of any other three players in the league. His scoring, rebounding, and assist averages are also on track to hit career highs, reflecting his extraordinary versatility on the court.
