Nikola Jokic's Brother Punches Fan, Police Reporteldy Investigating: VIDEO
Nikola Jokic's brother rocked a fan during the Nuggets/Lakers game Monday.
The Nuggets pulled off an incredible 101-99 win over the Lakers after erasing a 20-point deficit against LeBron James and company to improve to 2-0 in the series.
However, the biggest fireworks of the night might have happened in the stands. Jokic's older brother Strahinja was captured on video rocking a fan with a hell of a punch, according to TMZ.
It's not known as of publication what was said to spark the altercation, and the NBA is currently investigating the situation. TMZ also reported that no police report has been filed as of Tuesday afternoon, but police are aware of the video. The authorities are hopeful witnesses or anyone else involved will step forward, which hasn't happened yet.

Something tells me the NBA isn't going to love this, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lawsuit was coming. This is America. People love to sue, especially when they think there's a quick payday on the horizon.
What I will say is the fan who got rocked should be very proud of himself for how he handled that punch. Dude got jacked up by a punch right to the face, and didn't even fall.
A massive Serbian man unloaded a powerful shot to the guy's jaw, and he stood his ground without backing down. Everyone is talking about Strahinja's idiotic behavior, but we should be talking about the iron jaw of whoever this guy is.
Most people would crumble like a crushed tin can if they took a shot to the face. He stumbled a bit, but never went down. Never went down!

As for Strahinja, he's likely going to find himself with a phone call from the league or stadium security in the very near future if it hasn't already happened. Learn to walk away before things escalate, especially if your brother is the face of the franchise. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
