Nikola Jokic Ties Oscar Robertson in NBA Triple-Double History
Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets' center, achieved a triple-double in a single game, which is not surprising given his average of a triple-double last season.
Jokic's triple-double on Thursday night marked his fourth in a regular season opener, tying Oscar Robertson for the NBA record, according to NBA PR.
