The NBA is currently investigating an incident that occurred after a game between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers. Strahinja Jokić, the brother of star player Nikola Jokić, appears to have gotten into a physical altercation with a fan following the Nuggets’ win.
The video of the incident was posted on social media and shows Strahinja Jokić confronting the fan and allegedly punching him in the head. The Denver Police Department is aware of the incident but no official report has been made by the victim or witnesses.
Prior to the incident, Nikola Jokić had a standout performance in Game 2, scoring 27 points, grabbing 20 rebounds, and dishing out 10 assists. His efforts helped lead the Nuggets to a victory and put them ahead 2-0 in the playoff series. However, the details leading up to Strahinja’s altercation remain unclear.
The NBA team, Lakers, and security at Ball Arena have yet to make any comments on the incident involving Nikola’s brother. The league is taking this matter very seriously and will continue to investigate further as more information becomes available.
