DENVER (KDVR) — A viral video allegedly shows Nikola Jokic’s brother punching a fan in the head at Ball Arena after the Denver Nuggets‘ buzzer-beater win against the Los Angeles Lakers Monday night.

The video posted to TikTok by Christian Gallegos, titled “Jokic brothers go wild,” allegedly shows Jokic’s older brother Strahinja pushing his way down a row to approach a male fan. He is then seen throwing a punch towards the fan’s head.

Jokic’s other brother, Nemanja, can also be seen in the video, and Jokic’s wife, Natalija, can be seen grabbing one of the brothers in an attempt to pull him back while holding the couple’s daughter.

At this time, it is unclear what led to the altercation and if the fan was there for the Nuggets or the Lakers.

TMZ and The Athletic are reporting that the NBA is investigating the incident, and Nexstar’s KDVR is working to confirm the information as well.

Jokic’s brother wasn’t the only one that got heated during the second game of the playoffs.

LeBron James was seeing red after the Los Angeles Lakers watched a golden opportunity slip away.

James began voicing his frustration with the replay center. Earlier in the game, Murray was called for a foul when James drove to the basket, only to have the Nuggets successfully challenge for the foul to be waved off.
