Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Double-doubles with 10 assists

Jokic totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 42 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to the Suns.

Jokic got the extra assist to hit another double-double, a milestone he missed twice over the past 10 games. The MVP candidate is currently dealing with multiple injuries, but the team can't shut him down due to an ongoing battle for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. If the Nuggets create some space between Minnesota and Oklahoma City in the coming week, we may see Jokic's usage draw down to get rest for the playoffs.
