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. He pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor and is set for a May 7 trial in Denver County Court.
In the complaint filed by Denver firm Harden Law in Denver District Court, Meyer alleges Strahinja Jokic “belligerently heckled” him throughout the game for being a Lakers fan.
Strahinja Jokic then shoved Meyer into the row in front of him and later climbed over seats to punch Meyer in the face, according to the lawsuit.
No security guards were in the area as Strahinja Jokic continued to kick at him while Meyer and a friend left the arena.
