Nikola Jokic Sets Franchise Record in Nuggets' Win Over Bucks

Nikola Jokic made a triumphant return to the court after a five-game absence, leading the Denver Nuggets to a 127-117 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Jokic recorded an impressive triple-double with 39 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, marking his 30th triple-double of the season and setting a new franchise record. This achievement places him among an elite group of only four players in NBA history to reach 30 triple-doubles in a single season, alongside legends Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, and Russell Westbrook. The Nuggets, who struggled during Jokic's absence, are currently third in the competitive Western Conference and are aiming for a deep playoff run. As Jokic continues to perform at an MVP-caliber level, his success will be crucial for the Nuggets as they navigate the final stretch of the season. With eight games remaining, maintaining form will be key to securing a favorable playoff position.
