The Denver Nuggets have had a near-ideal start to their 2025-26 campaign, winning back-to-back games after losing their season opener against the Golden State W

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon achieved a rare feat with his career performance against the Golden State Warriors.

Jerami Grant made a pair of free throws with 1.4 seconds left and the Portland Trail Blazers rallied for a 109-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Cup opener for both teams.

Following the game, the NBA confirmed Jokic’s latest feat on social media, announcing he became just the fifth player in league history to open a season with back-to-back triple-doubles. He joins Russell Westbrook, Magic Johnson, Jerry Lucas and Oscar Robertson on that exclusive list.

Nikola Jokic is on a historic run to begin the year, which continued in the Nuggets' demolition of the Pelicans.

Nikola Jokic pushes back on the idea that his historic triple-doubles come “effortlessly” after the Nuggets win over the Pelicans.
