The NBA announced that Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) and Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks) have been chosen as the best players of the month for February in the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference, respectively.
The Serbian genius thus became the first Nuggets player to repeat the award as player of the month since he also won the award in January.
In addition, Jokic, with his sixth player of the month honor, is also the recipient of the most such awards in Denver franchise history.
NBA MVP in the past two seasons, Jokic averaged a triple-double this month with 22.6 points, 14.2 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, displaying excellent accuracy (64.2% shooting from field, 50% in triples).
