Nurkić Has Three Triple-Doubles in His Last 10 Games
The Jazz center is racking up triple-doubles without needing heavy scoring or heavy minutes.
Jusuf Nurkić has three triple-doubles in his last 10 games for the Jazz. The most recent came on February 11, 2026. That mark covers his play so far in the 2025-26 season, through that date.
Three triple-doubles in a 10-game span is a real run for any player. It stands out more next to his season-long numbers. Across 41 games this season, Nurkić is averaging 10.9 points and 26.4 minutes per game. Those are modest totals in both scoring and playing time for someone producing triple-doubles at this rate.
That gap between his season averages and his recent run shows where the triple-doubles are coming from. He is not scoring his way into them. He is filling out the rest of the box score within a limited role and a limited number of minutes.
For the run to hold, Nurkić needs to keep getting enough minutes to affect the game in more than one way each night. At 26.4 minutes a game for the season, there is not a lot of room to spare. If his playing time drops on a given night, or his role with the Jazz shifts, a triple-double gets harder to reach. If his minutes hold near their season mark, three triple-doubles in 10 games is a pace worth tracking for the rest of the 2025-26 season.
