A recent incident involving Nikola Jokić’s brother has become the focal point after the Nuggets won Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA is investigating an incident in which Strahinja Jokić got into a physical altercation with a fan after the game. The Denver Police Department is aware of the incident but it was not reported to them.
The video, posted on social media, shows Strahinja Jokić confronting a fan and allegedly punching him in the head. The DPD is trying to identify the person who was struck in the video. No official report has been made by the victim or witnesses.
Prior to the incident, Nikola Jokić played a dominant game in Game 2, helping the Nuggets secure a victory over the Lakers. He scored 27 points, grabbed 20 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists. This win put the Nuggets ahead 2-0 in their playoff series against the Lakers. However, this success was short-lived as his brother’s actions overshadowed his impressive performance on the court.
The details leading up to the altercation are unclear. It is not clear what provoked Strahinja Jokić to act out in such a way. It is also unclear whether he had any prior issues with this particular fan or if this was simply an isolated incident that occurred on impulse. Nonetheless, this behavior is unacceptable and could have serious consequences for both Strahinja Jokić and his brother Nikola if they are found guilty of any wrongdoing.
The NBA team, Lakers and security at Ball Arena have yet to comment on this matter publicly, but it seems that they will be looking into it further before taking any action against either party involved.
