Nikola Jokic has now recorded a triple-double against every NBA team he has faced in his 9-year career.
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic joined an exclusive club Thursday night, becoming the third player in modern NBA history to record a triple-double against every team he’s faced.
Jokic scored 21 points with 19 rebounds and 15 assists in the Nuggets’ 130-110 victory over the Washington Wizards to join LeBron James and Russell Westbrook in the exclusive club.
“After I finish my career, it’s a legacy and milestone,” Jokic said. “I’m going to look back and I’m going to say that’s a really cool thing to do.”

Because James and Westbrook have played for multiple teams, they are the only players who have posted triple-doubles against all 30 teams. James accomplished the feat first, doing so on Nov. 20, 2019, in a win against the Thunder. Westbrook joined him in that club less than a year later when he got a triple-double vs. OKC on Jan. 20, 2020.
Jokic sits at 29, which likely won’t change anytime soon.
Hall of Famer Maurice Stokes accomplished the feat as well in his career, logging triple-doubles against the seven other NBA teams in the league at that time.
Jokic also became the first player in NBA history to shoot 10-for-10 or better from the floor with at least 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a game.
In 650 career games, Jokic ranks fourth in NBA history with 121 regular-season triple-doubles. He trails only Magic Johnson (138), Oscar Robertson (181) and Westbrook (198) on the all-time list.
