An altercation involving Nikola Jokić’s brother, Strahinja Jokić, has become a focal point after the Nuggets’ victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of the playoff series. The NBA is currently investigating the incident that occurred after the game.
Strahinja Jokić appears to have gotten into a physical altercation with a fan after the Nuggets’ win. A video posted on social media shows him confronting the fan and allegedly punching him in the head. The Denver Police Department is trying to identify the person who was struck in the video, but no official report has been made by the victim or witnesses.
Prior to the incident, Nikola Jokić played a dominant game in Game 2, scoring 27 points, grabbing 20 rebounds, and dishing out 10 assists. The win put the Nuggets ahead 2-0 in the playoff series. However, his brother’s actions have overshadowed his impressive performance on the court.
The details leading up to the altercation are unclear at this time. The NBA team, Lakers, and security at Ball Arena have yet to comment on the incident. It remains to be seen how this will impact Nikola Jokić’s MVP award chances and whether he will face any consequences for his brother’s actions.
