The basketball virtuoso of the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokić, has once again etched his name in the annals of NBA history, surpassing previous records for triple-doubles, as reported by the association.

In the nocturnal spectacle on December 15th, a regular-season clash unfolded between Denver and Brooklyn, culminating in a resounding victory for the hosts with a scoreline of 124:101. The Serbian maestro, Nikola Jokić, orchestrated a triple-double masterpiece, amassing 26 points, 15 rebounds, and ten assists.
