Nikola Jokic is no stranger to the triple-double. He's had four in a row, 184 for his career. But against the Memphis Grizzlies, he nearly had a quadruple-double, but definitely not the kind you want. Jokic committed 9 turnovers, matching a season-high. His poor ball control could have cost the Nuggets another game, too.
Yes, the Joker did have his typical 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists. But it was the turnovers that stuck out, especially after the one he had against Cleveland in the waning seconds that helped set up a gut-wrenching home loss. Denver escaped another close one at home, defeating Memphis 122-116.
