Nikola Jokic Faces Dilemma as Brother Hit With Probation After Basketball Fight

Strahinja Jokic, brother of NBA superstar Nikola Jokic, has received a one-year probation sentence after a violent incident with a spectator during a playoff game involving the Nuggets in 2024. Denver prosecutors disclosed that the judge rendered this decision on Friday, following Strahinja’s guilty plea to charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. The legal actions stemmed from a confrontation after the Nuggets’ clash with the Lakers on April 22, 2024, during which Strahinja was seen striking a man in the face, allegedly leading to a concussion. Although he initially entered a not guilty plea, asserting he was protecting a nearby elderly person, his past presence at Nikola’s games raises questions about his attendance at Ball Arena since the altercation. Meanwhile, Nikola is gearing up for his 11th NBA season, slated to commence later this month.
