>Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic’s brother was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault, three months after a video that appeared to show him punching a fan during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers went viral.
>Strahinja Jokic is charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and appeared in Denver County Court on Tuesday, according to court records.
>He is set to appear in court for an arraignment hearing on Aug. 21.
>The probable cause statement from Denver Police says the victim had “obvious cuts and bruising” near his left eye. He told police, according to the document, the assault was “unprovoked” and that he was “dazed” by the punch but did not lose consciousness.
>The victim told police he saw a doctor and was diagnosed with a concussion. Police also spoke with witnesses who identified Strahinja Jokic as the man who punched the victim.
>The victim initially said he did not want to pursue charges due to a fear of retaliation; however, in early May, he changed his mind.
>The probable cause statement says that when Strahinja Jokic was served with the ticket and summons, he made an “unprompted” statement that he had done nothing wrong and was “defending an older man that he has known for a long time.”

Least surprising news ever. Since it was a Laker fan I doubt it was “unprovoked”

There were words and then Strahinja just cold cocked him. He’s clearly guilty of assault and probably shouldn’t be allowed in the stands.
