Jokic says he hugged Malone while naked after triple-double

Mike Malone will likely be a little bit more careful the next time he celebrates with one of his players in the locker room.

Nikola Jokic was apparently so fired up about collecting his first triple-double on Friday that he forgot how little he was wearing when the Nuggets bench boss handed him the game ball.

"I hugged him. I was naked and I hugged him," Jokic told reporters following the contest.

Jokic finished the game with 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists in Denver's victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
