The NBA and Denver police are currently investigating an incident involving a man believed to be one of the brothers of Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić.
After the Nuggets’ tҺrilling 101-99 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA playoffs, videos surfaced showing the man climbing over seats to confront another individual at Ball Arena, ultimately punching them in the face. TMZ and other outlets shared the footage, which took place on Monday night following the Nuggets’ comeback from a 20-point deficit, giving them a 2-0 lead in the first-round series.
The NBA has stated that it is actively looking into the matter, while the Denver police are conducting their own investigation, despite no official reports being made at the arena or after the game. The police encourage anyone involved or who witnessed the incident to come forward and contact the Denver Police Department.
