The brother of Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was arrested for choking a woman and refusing to let her leave an apartment after she told him about a former flame, authorities said.

Strahinja Jokic, the 37-year-old older brother of the 7-foot Serbian native, was busted Thursday after a woman told police he shoved her during an argument and wouldn’t let her leave a Denver apartment, according to a probable cause statement obtained by the Denver Post.

Jokic, who had been drinking, allegedly grabbed the woman and choked her after she went to the apartment’s balcony to scream for help. Jokic also threatened to choke the woman “until she fell asleep,” police said.

The alleged attack happened after the woman told Jokic about someone she had previously dated, KUSA reported, citing the probable cause statement.

The unidentified woman tried to call cops but Jokic grabbed her phone, prompting her to go into a bedroom, where she was able to send a message to someone who called police, according to the document.

Jokic is now facing charges of second-degree assault, false imprisonment and obstruction of phone service, a spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney’s Office told the Denver Post.

Attempts to reach Jokic early Wednesday were unsuccessful. It’s unclear if he’s hired an attorney.

Strahinja Jokic is a fixture at many of his 24-year-old brother’s NBA games — and got so heated with a referee over a flagrant foul call on one occasion that he had to be held back by a security guard, the Denver Post reported in 2017.

“Why be afraid? I am playing a game of basketball?” Nikola Jokic told the newspaper when asked if he feared anyone in the league. “I am scared of only one person in my life. That’s my brother. Have you seen him?”
