The NBA is currently investigating a troubling incident that occurred after the Denver Nuggets’ victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. The focus of the investigation is Nikola Jokić’s brother, Strahinja Jokić, who was allegedly involved in an altercation with another fan.
A video circulating on social media shows Strahinja Jokić wearing his brother’s jersey and reportedly punching a fan in the head. The Denver Police Department has been made aware of the video but no formal report has been filed. DPD is now seeking to identify the individual who was struck and is asking any witnesses to come forward.
The circumstances leading up to the altercation remain unclear, and both the Nuggets and the Lakers have declined to provide comment on the incident. Additionally, arena security is also being approached for any information they may have.
This unfortunate incident occurred immediately after Jamal Murray’s incredible game-winning buzzer-beater for the Nuggets, securing a 2-0 lead for the team in the playoff series. Nikola Jokić himself had an outstanding performance in the game, achieving a triple-double and playing a key role in his team’s victory.
As the investigation continues, it is crucial for all parties involved to cooperate fully in order to determine what transpired and ensure that appropriate actions are taken. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story on our site, ‘The Puck Drop’.
