The video shows Jokic’s older brother, Strahinja, climbing over seats to get closer to another spectator, who he then punched right in the face.
From there, they continued to yap at each other, as Jokic’s other brother Nemanja followed from behind for backup.
Nikola’s wife, Natalija, was right near Jokic’s brothers throughout the altercation as she clutched her young daughter throughout the ordeal.
It remains unknown what caused the incident.
