Miss Lucy Treutel 10 May 2025

Can the actions of a sibling outside the court overshadow even the most brilliant NBA career? It appears so, as Strahinja Jokic, the older brother of Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, finds himself embroiled in legal battles that have captured headlines and raised questions about the dynamics within the Jokic family.

While Nikola Jokic continues to dominate the basketball world with his unparalleled skill and court vision, Strahinja has faced legal troubles that have drawn significant attention. On Monday, January 6, Strahinja pleaded not guilty to assault charges stemming from an incident at Ball Arena on April 22, 2024, during a playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The case is now slated for a potential trial in April, casting a shadow over the Jokic family and the Denver Nuggets' ongoing season.
