Nikola Jokic had his 50th triple-double tonight — joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only centers in NBA history to reach that milestone.
Jokic did it in 416 games.
Wilt did it in 703 games.
Nikola Jokic tonight:
39 PTS
14 REB
9 AST
17-28 FG
He’s on pace to become the first player in NBA history to average 25/10/8 on 55% shooting in a season.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of longtime media member Dale Bublitz. His professionalism and ability to make others around him smile, will be sorely missed in our media room. Our thoughts are with his wife Elayne and all of his loved ones.
Will Barton of the @Nuggets gave every single kid at his old school a brand new Under Armour coat today. Awesome day! (Sound up on video for the ultimate compliment to the kids in their new coats.) #baltimore
