Strahinja Jokic, the older brother of Denver Nuggets champion Nikola Jokic, was given a formal citation recently in connection to a reported assault at an April Nuggets game at Ball Arena.
According to the affidavit, an assault took place in the stands. Investigators then learned there was evidence of it captured on video and then posted to TikTok, going viral. Strahinja was identified in the video as being involved in the altercation that was recorded, also involving an unidentified fan.
Strahinja was served on July 19. At that time, investigators say he voluntarily offered a statement. Strahinja asserts he feels he did nothing wrong because he was, “defending an older man that has known for a long time.”
The alleged victim was interviewed by investigators on April 25, when this person was seen to have cuts and bruising on his left eye. He told investigators he had been punched by one of the Jokic brothers. The victim claims the assault was unprovoked. He also said he saw a doctor shortly after and was diagnosed with a concussion.
Investigators said they also spoke to a witness, who confirmed Strahinja, the Nuggets star’s older brother, had punched the victim.
In 2019, Strahinja faced charges for assault. That time, he was arrested for second-degree assault and false imprisonment. A woman claimed he had choked her and refused to let her leave an apartment in downtown Denver.
In this new incident, Strahinja Jokic was formerly charged with assault in the third degree – knowingly – reckless bodily injury.

Colorado weather: Wildfire smoke continues to choke the state, prompts hazardous air quality alerts
![Colorado weather: Wildfire smoke continues to choke the state, prompts hazardous air quality alerts Colorado weather: Wildfire smoke continues to choke the state, prompts hazardous air quality alerts](https://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Denver-Air-Quality-Alert-2.jpg?w=1024&h=683)
Wildfire smoke moving into Colorado from Canada and high ozone levels continue to choke the state Wednesday, prompting alerts for hazardous air quality.
As of 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, Denver and most of the surrounding area had air quality index ratings between 100 and 150, according to live tracking data from IQAir.
“When AQI values are above 100, air quality is considered to be unhealthy, at first for members of populations at greatest risk of a health effect, then for the entire population as AQI values get higher (greater than 150),” according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Multiple air quality stations in Denver, Arvada and Pueblo reported “unhealthy” AQIs above 150 on Wednesday.
State officials also reported unhealthy levels of ozone in the Denver area Wednesday morning.
Air monitors across northern Colorado and the Front Range showed high concentrations of particulate matter, which can be smoke, soot, ash or liquid particles that people can inhale.
Denver air monitors Wednesday recorded rates of particulate matter nearly seven times higher than the level considered safe by the Environmental Protection Agency, according to the agency’s fire and smoke map.
State health and air quality officials issued a “multiple pollutants” action day alert Tuesday that will last through 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Warm and stagnant weather combined with increasing amounts of out-of-state wildfire smoke will result in ozone and fine particulate matter concentrations reaching unhealthy levels for air quality, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment officials said in the action day alert.
The air quality advisory was issued for Douglas, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Denver, Adams, Broomfield, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties, but poor air quality is being seen across eastern Colorado, state officials said.
Where possible, people should limit driving gas and diesel-powered vehicles until 4 p.m. Wednesday, the alert stated.
At 9 a.m., the “multiple pollutants” action day alert expanded to include Teller, El Paso, Fremont, Pueblo, Kiowa, Bent, Otero, Sedgwick, Logan, Phillips, Morgan, Yuma, Washington, Elbert, Lincoln, Kit Carson, Cheyenne, Custer, Huerfano, Las Animas, Baca, Gilpin, Clear Creek and Park counties.
“Heavy smoke will result in elevated concentrations of both ozone and particle pollution through at least Thursday morning,” state officials said.
The new alert will remain in effect until 9 a.m. Thursday.
“People with heart or lung disease, older adults and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion and limit time outdoors,” state officials said in the alert. “Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion and, while outside, take more breaks.”
State officials said people should stay inside if smoke becomes thick in their neighborhood and should consider temporarily relocating if smoke is present indoors or making residents ill.
If visibility is less than 5 miles due to smoke in the area, the air quality has reached unhealthy levels, state officials said.
