Overview

• Denver prosecutors said Jokic received one year of probation after Friday’s hearing.
• He was initially charged with third-degree assault for an April 22, 2024 incident at Ball Arena during a Nuggets–Lakers playoff game.
• A viral video appeared to show him striking a fan in the face, which helped trigger the investigation.
• The fan, Nicholas Meyer, later sued, alleging a concussion, facial injuries, and a deviated septum.
• Jokic earlier pleaded not guilty and said he was protecting an older man, while court records show he previously completed a deferred sentence in a separate 2019 case.
