Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić is reportedly under investigation following a mysterious incident that occurred during a recent overseas trip to his native Serbia, sources close to the situation have confirmed.
Details surrounding the incident remain limited, but Serbian authorities have acknowledged that Jokić was present at the scene of what local media are describing as a “disturbance involving multiple individuals” at a private event in the city of Sombor. No official charges have been filed, and Jokić has not been detained.
The NBA and the Denver Nuggets have both released brief statements acknowledging awareness of the situation. “We are aware of reports involving Nikola Jokić and are currently gathering more information,” the Nuggets’ front office said Friday morning. The league added that it is “monitoring the matter closely.”
Jokić, widely regarded as one of the most respected and low-profile stars in the league, was in Serbia for what was believed to be a personal visit following the conclusion of the Nuggets’ 2024–25 season.
Neither Jokić nor his representatives have commented publicly on the investigation. It’s unclear whether this situation will impact his availability for offseason team activities or international play.
This is a developing story. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
