Strahinja Jokic, the brother of Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, has been sen/tenced after a guilty plea stemming from an incident that resulted in him punching a fan.
According to TMZ Sports, Strahinja has been sen/tenced to 12 months of supervised probation after appearing in court this Friday.
“According to prosecutors in Denver, a judge sen;tenced Strahinja on Friday … after he pled guilty to one count of trespassing and one count of disorderly conduct,” the outlet reported on Friday.
The incident in question took place at Ball Arena in Denver last April after the Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 101-99 in Game 2 of a Western Conference tie.
The Serbian was caught on camera punching a man, later identified as Nicolas Meyer, and was arrested months later.

Strahinja was initially hit with multiple charges, including third-degree assault. He appeared in court on Friday and accepted a plea deal, which required him to plead guilty to one count of misdemeanor trespassing and one count of disorderly conduct.
The assault charge was dropped, which means he will avoid jail time.
A judge issued him a stern warning and told him that any violation of the probation terms could result in jail time.
Meyer told the court that the assault left him without a sense of control, which made him feel unsafe to the point where he was afraid to leave his home.
Strahinja Jokic is a regular at Nuggets games, where he’s often seen supporting and celebrating Nikola Jokic. However, both he and his other brother, Nemanja Jokic, have earned a bad reputation for their confrontations with fans and even with players.
Nikola, a three-time MVP and seven-time All-Star, is widely regarded as one of the best centers in NBA history. He led the Nuggets to a championship in 2023, also winning Finals MVP.
