The @nuggets' Nikola Jokic has recorded a triple double in his first game of the season four times throughout his career. That is tied with Oscar Robertson for most triple doubles by a player in his first game of the season in NBA history.

In their season openers: Bulls lost by 43 Suns lost by 41 Heat lost by 25 Kings lost by 25 Warriors lost by 22 Jazz lost by 20 This is the first time in NBA history 6 different teams lost their openers by 20+ points in the same season.

Walker Kessler went 12-for-12 from the field in his @Lakers debut. That's the most field goals without a miss by any player in his debut with a team in NBA history.

The @trailblazers are the only NBA team in the last 25 years with a 20-0 or better run to open a season.

There have been 207 players in NBA history who have averaged at least 15.0 PPG in their first NBA season. Anthony Edwards is the only one of them who has increased his scoring average in each of his next 5 seasons in the NBA.

LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown & Tyrese Maxey in their first game together for the @sixers: 74 points 32 rebounds 24 assists 8 blocks 7 steals 6 threes made 18 free throws made No other quartet in NBA history has combined to reach all of those marks in any single game.

The Pistons are the first NBA team this century to trail by as many as 20 points in a season opener and end up winning by at least eight points.

The @EdmontonOilers' Connor McDavid has 6 goals and 17 assists in 2026-27. He is the only player in NHL history to reach those marks through his team's first eight games of a season.

Gabby Williams of the @valkyries is averaging 23.1 points per game this playoffs after averaging 14.4 in the regular season. That would be the highest postseason PPG by a WNBA player (min. 3 playoff games) who averaged sub-15.0 PPG in that regular season.
