Nikola Jokic’s brothers have basically become honorary members of the Denver Nuggets the last few years, but an incident at the game on April 22’s playoff game could have one of them in some hot water.
A video of an incident has been circulating on social media, and Denver Police said that they’re working to identify the person who appears to have been punched in the face at the game by one of Jokic’s brothers.
The video shows the altercation happening shortly after Jamal Murray’s buzzer-beater that completed a 20-point comeback, with at least one of them, older brother Strahinja, throwing a punch. Women behind the brothers, one of whom was Nikola’s wife, Natalija, holding the couple’s one-year-old daughter, tried to de-escalate the situation.
Reports say the NBA is also investigating the incident.
