In advance of season, important stats for #Nuggets star Nikola Jokic. Jokic has turned heads with how vocal he has been Via @TroyRenck on X

What happened: Nikola Jokic has taken a vocal role coaching up Denver teammates in practice ahead of the 2026-27 season. He enters the season two triple-doubles short of 200 and 12 short of the all-time lead.

Why it matters: Denver again runs its offense through Jokic as it chases stability after a short rotation last season. The record chase gives the Nuggets an early historical storyline alongside win-loss stakes.

By the numbers: Jokic needs 2 for 200 career triple-doubles and 12 for the all-time mark. He closed the preseason with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a 133-128 finale.

What to watch: Denver opens the 2026-27 season Tuesday, giving Jokic his first chance to cut into the 200 mark.
