After the triple-double against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Nurkic recorded the same performance in the game against San Antonio, where he scored 17 points, along with an impressive 14 assists and 11 rebounds.
For Nurkic, it was the second tied triple-double, and interestingly “only” the third in an NBA career spanning more than a decade.
The extent of Nurkić’s feat is best shown by the fact that before him in the 21st century, only four centers managed to record two triple-doubles in the NBA.
These are Nikola Jokic, Domantas Sabonis, Alperen Sengun and DeMarcus Cousins.
In the last seven games, Nurkić averaged 18 points, 12.9 rebounds and seven assists per game, and it can be said that he is playing in the shape of his life.
