Nikola Jokić etches his name into NBA history with a unique milestone

On the night of Thursday, November 13, Denver faced the Clippers in an NBA clash — and the game turned into a historic occasion for one of its stars.

Details: Denver’s center Nikola Jokić delivered a phenomenal performance, scoring 55 points — twice as many as his nearest teammate. Moreover, he became only the fourth player in NBA history to record 55 points while shooting 78% or better from the field.

Recently, guard Russell Westbrook pulled down 16 rebounds in a game, surpassing Jason Kidd in total career rebounds. Westbrook now has 8,734 rebounds to his name, overtaking Kidd’s tally of 8,725.

Reminder: In the Lakers’ second regular-season game against Minnesota, 26-year-old forward Luka Dončić made his own mark in basketball history.
