Nuggets' Jokic matches David Robinson with 5th triple-double of season
USA Today Sports
He hasn't garnered the attention he deserves, but Nikola Jokic is quietly putting together one of the best seasons of any big man this year.
With his fifth triple-double of the season, Jokic became the first center since David Robinson in 1993-94 to record five triple-doubles in a season. In addition, Jokic matched The Admiral for most triple-doubles in a season by a center in the last 34 years.
The Nuggets big man was sensational in Denver's win over the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists in the 129-114 victory Thursday.
