Nikola Jokic makes NBA history with all-time turnover record The Denver Nuggets fell 125-118 to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, marking a surprising loss for the Nuggets as Memphis ended an eight-game losing streak. Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ star center, contributed 29 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists but also recorded 10 turnovers in 38.5 minutes of play. This performance secured Jokic the record for the most 10+ turnover games by an NBA center in history. According to Real App, Jokic now holds the distinction of having the most such games in the league. This marks his fourth career game with double-digit turnovers, following instances in 2017, 2020, and 2022. The loss pushed Denver’s Western Conference record to 42-28, placing them in sixth place in the conference. Despite the setback, Jokic continues to dominate statistically, averaging a triple-double with 28.2 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game this season. Jokic’s 10-turnover games have occurred in the following matches: December 20, 2017, against the Minnesota Timberwolves (22 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 10 turnovers) December 29, 2020, versus the Sacramento Kings (26 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 10 turnovers) November 3, 2022, at the Oklahoma City Thunder (15 points, 13 rebounds, 14 assists, 10 turnovers) March 18, 2026, against the Memphis Grizzlies (29 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 10 turnovers) This milestone highlights the challenges Jokic faces in balancing his offensive impact with defensive responsibilities, as turnovers remain a recurring issue despite his overall dominance. The record underscores the unique position of a center in the modern NBA, where playmaking and ball-handling are increasingly expected, even as traditional roles evolve.#denver_nuggets #oklahoma_city_thunder #nikola_jokic #memphis_grizzlies #real_app
