Everything is on the line tonight as Jokic leads the Denver Nuggets into a decisive Game 7 against the Clippers.
He has dominated the series, averaging a triple-double: 25.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 10.5 assists, becoming the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to total at least 152 points, 71 rebounds, and 63 assists over a six-game postseason stretch.
The Serbian center thrives in high-stakes moments. Jokic has played in five Game 7s so far, winning three (vs. Spurs in 2019, Jazz and Clippers in 2020) and losing two (to Portland in 2019 and Minnesota in 2023).
His numbers are historic — 26 points, 16.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 2.2 blocks per game — making him the only player in NBA history to average 25+ points, 15+ rebounds, and 5+ assists in Game 7s, per StatMuse.
Back in the 2020 bubble, Jokic recorded 16 points, 22 rebounds, and 13 assists to help eliminate the Clippers — whom he’ll now face again in a Game 7.
He’s also known for playing nearly the entire game — logging 47 out of 48 minutes in last year’s Game 7. Expect another marathon performance tonight as Jokic looks to add to his legacy.
