Nikola Jokić underscored his status as one of the modern NBA’s most dominant players with a historic 55-point game against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 12, 2025. Jokić scored a season-high 55 points on an astounding 78% shooting efficiency (18-for-23 FG), including 5-of-6 from beyond the arc, while adding 12 rebounds and 6 assists in 34 minutes of play.
This performance places Jokić in an elite NBA company as only the fourth player ever to score 55 or more points on 78% shooting or better. His dominance on both ends of the court powered the Denver Nuggets to a convincing 130-116 victory, extending their winning streak to six games.
