JOKIĆ TONIGHT: MOVES 11 TRIPLE-DOUBLES AWAY FROM THE ALL-TIME RECORD 🃏 35 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in the @nuggets ' 23-point comeback W! pic.twitter.com/yzGFakZYXy — NBA (@NBA) October 25, 2026 Typically uninterested in accolades and personal achievements, Jokić gave a brief response when asked if passing Westbrook on the career triple-double list (playoffs and regular season combined) meant anything to him. “It's definitely something for after the career … is nice,” Jokić told reporters after the game. Asked if he'd text Westbrook, Jokić reaffirmed his aim was the regular-season record. “No if I break his official record then I'm going to text him,” the 31-year-old said. Jokić has averaged a triple-double the last two seasons. Should he average one this season, he would match Westbrook as the only other NBA player in history to do so for three seasons in a row. History was made Saturday, but Jokić's goal lies with the regular season mark, 11 triple-doubles away.
