The NBA and Denver police are investigating an incident that took place after the Denver Nuggets’ playoff victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. A man, reported to be the brother of Nuggets star Nikola Jokic, was seen punching a fan in the face. The incident occurred just after the Nuggets completed their comeback from a 20-point deficit to take a 2-0 lead in the first-round series. Videos of the altercation were shared by TMZ and other outlets, and show the man climbing over seats to confront another person at Ball Arena before punching them. An NBA spokesman said Tuesday that the league is looking into the matter. The Denver police media relations unit said in an email sent to The Associated Press that it is investigating the incident, but said it was not reported to the Denver police at the arena or after the game. “At this time, no one has come forward as a victim of this incident,” the email said. “The Department is looking into this incident, is actively working to identify the person in the video who was struck, and encourages anyone who was involved or witnessed this firsthand to contact the Denver Police Department.”
