Nikola Jokic made NBA history Saturday, February 7, 2026, recording his 182nd career triple-double to pass Oscar Robertson for second place on the league's all-time list. The Denver Nuggets defeated the Chicago Bulls 136-120 at United Center behind Jokic's 22 points, 17 assists, and 14 rebounds.\n\n'He is a legendary player,' Jokic said of Robertson, who became the first player to average a triple-double for a full season in 1961-62. 'Any player who steps into this league knows he's a global legend.'\n\nThis was Jokic's 19th triple-double of the 2025-26 season and his second consecutive one. The three-time NBA MVP and eight-time All-Star now trails only Russell Westbrook (207 career triple-doubles). Westbrook (four seasons), Jokic (two), and Robertson (one) remain the only players in NBA history to average a triple-double across an entire season.\n\n'When your center gets 17 assists in a game -- that just doesn't happen,' Nuggets coach David Adelman said. 'Unless it's him. It's absolutely unbelievable what he's done.'\n\nJamal Murray, who scored 24 points, predicted more milestones ahead: 'He's got a lot of that left. It's going to be a Usain Bolt record when he sets it. He's going to have that for a long time.'\n\nJokic, who turns 31 on February 19, is averaging 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.4 assists this season, on pace for his third career triple-double average.
