Russell Westbrook notched his first triple-double as a member of the Denver Nuggets in their victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. The achievement marked a historic milestone, as Westbrook became the first player in NBA history to reach 200 career triple-doubles.
Widely recognized as one of the most dynamic players in NBA history, Westbrook has established himself as a triple-double machine. He is the only player to average a triple-double across three different seasons.
He first accomplished the feat during his tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunder, doing so twice, including in his MVP-winning 2016–17 season. Later, he repeated the remarkable accomplishment during his sole season with the Washington Wizards in 2020–21.
Now adding to his legacy with the Nuggets, Westbrook continues to solidify his reputation as one of the league’s all-time great playmakers, showcasing his versatility and relentless energy on the court. This historic milestone underscores his consistent ability to contribute in multiple facets of the game.
