What happened: Denver won Saturday as Jokić scored 26 points with eight rebounds and 10 assists. Murray added 23 points, seven rebounds and nine assists.
Why it matters: NBA tracking of assists between teammates began in 1997-98, giving the milestone nearly three decades of context. The mark adds a passing record to their June recognition as an All-NBA duo.
By the numbers: In 2026-27 through 11 games, Murray is averaging 25.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game; Jokić is averaging 23.4 points, 10.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists.
What to watch: Their next game offers a chance to extend both passing totals beyond 1,000.
