Nikola Jokic Makes NBA History with First-Ever 30-20-20 Triple-Double

The Denver Nuggets star delivered a record-breaking performance in an overtime win against the Phoenix Suns, reigniting the MVP race.

Nikola Jokic recorded the first 30-point, 20-rebound, 20-assist game in NBA history during a 149-141 overtime victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Jokic's historic performance included 31 points, 22 assists, and 21 rebounds, solidifying his case as one of the league's all-time greats.
Despite his record-breaking night, Jokic downplayed the significance, focusing instead on recovery for the Nuggets' upcoming back-to-back games against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The MVP race remains highly competitive, with Jokic and Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander both delivering standout seasons and facing off in two consecutive games starting tonight.
Denver coach Michael Malone praised Jokic as a '1 of 1' player, while Kevin Durant dismissed the idea of Jokic being an MVP underdog, emphasizing his consistent dominance.
