Nikola Jokic returned to action following the All-Star break, leading the Denver Nuggets to a dominant 130-110 win against the Washington Wizards, breaking his team's three-game losing streak.

The Serbian carried the NBA champions, finishing the match with 21 points on 10/10 two-pointers, 19 rebounds, and 15 assists, with Michael Porter adding 22 points, Jamal Murray 18, and Aaron Gordon 17.

The Nuggets star has joined an exclusive club, becoming the third player in NBA history to record a triple-double against every team he's faced.

For obvious reasons, the Nuggets are the only team not included in that list, as Jokic has spent his entire NBA career with the franchise.

Jokic has joined LeBron James and Russell Westbrook in the exclusive club. Because James and Westbrook have played for multiple teams, they remain the only players who have posted triple-doubles against 30 teams. Jokic sits at 29, and that won't be changing anytime soon.

"After I finish my career, it's a legacy and milestone," he said. "I'm going to look back, and I'm going to say that's a really cool thing to do."

Jokic also became the first player in NBA history to shoot 10/10 or better from the floor with at least 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a game.

In 650 career games, he ranks fourth in NBA history with 121 regular-season triple-doubles. He trails only Magic Johnson (138), Oscar Robertson (181), and Westbrook (198) on the all-time list.
