The representative did not, however, disclose if the man has formally made a police report or if he is looking to prosecute charges. The report further shared, “At this point the investigation is still ongoing and no arrests have been made.”
The basketball organization has announced that the matter is still under investigation but Jokic’s brother for the time being, is clear as they have not levied any charges against him.
Subsequently, Strahinja may be able to attend Game 3 of the Playoffs Round 1 game series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets, which will be played at Crypto.com Arena. The six-time All-Star has not yet made any official statements as well.
