Nikola Jokic named player of the week for the third time this season

What a week it’s been for Nikola Jokic. On Monday, Jokic helped lead one of the largest comebacks in recent NBA history, rallying back from 25 points down in the 3rd quarter and 14 points down with 7 minutes to go. Jokic hit the game-winning shot over Marc Gasol, one of the league’s best interior defenders, with 38 seconds left.

On Wednesday, Jokic notched his 8th triple-double of the season en route to a comfortable win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

On Thursday, it was announced that Jokic would be an all-star for the first time in his career.
