In their final game before the NBA All-Star break, the Denver Nuggets prevailed 122-116 over the Memphis Grizzlies at Ball Arena. After surrendering a 15-point cushion, they used a strong finish to secure the win, highlighted by Nikola Jokic reaching 20 triple-doubles for the 2025-26 campaign.
Initially listed as probable due to a left ankle sprain, and remaining narrowly eligible for season-ending awards, the Serbian superstar finished with 26 points behind 8/17 field goals and 10/14 free throws in 33:54. He added 15 rebounds and 11 assists but also recorded nine turnovers.
Lithuanian reserve Jonas Valanciunas contributed nine points and six rebounds in 14:11.
The Grizzlies, led by Finnish head coach Tuomas Iisalo, remained without Spanish forward Santi Aldama, who was sidelined for right knee injury management.
