A Denver man who alleges he was punched by Nikola Jokic’s older brother during a 2024 game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Ball Arena is suing the Nuggets star’s sibling for negligence, assault and battery, according to a complaint filed Monday.
Police have said Strahinja Jokic, 42, was seen punching Lakers fan Nicholas Meyer after the April 22, 2024, game in a now-viral video. He was charged with third-degree assault.
Strahinja Jokic told police he felt he had done nothing wrong because he was defending an older man he had known for a very long time.
