Nikola Jokic Returns With A Triple-Double
3 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic returned from a one-game suspension with a triple-double in Friday's win over Atlanta, racking up 22 points on 10-for-22 shooting with 19 rebounds and 10 assists. He even found time to pick up one steal and posted two turnovers in 35 minutes. Jokic, who was only 1-for-8 with his triples, now has 59 career triple-doubles, which ties him with Larry Bird for eighth all-time. The reigning MVP has bagged triple-doubles in both of his last two appearances. He'll try to take the streak to three games on Sunday against Portland. It's a tough matchup for him against Jusuf Nurkic, but the Nuggets are currently on a great run and Jokic is in the middle of everything they do.
