Denver Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic fell short of winning the NBA championship this year, but he has a new reason to celebrate this summer.

Jokic was in attendance at the Dužijanac 2025, an annual horseracing event in Hippodrome in Subotica, Serbia. His horse, Demon Dell'Est, took home the top prize, prompting the outpour of emotion from the seven-time NBA All-Star.

It's been well established how much Nikola Jokic loves his horses, but in case anyone needed a reminder, Sunday provided maybe the best example yet.

Portland Trail Blazers rookie center Yang Hansen could have his request for an autographed photo from Denver superstar center Nikola Jokic fulfilled. But potentially under certain conditions. During the 2025 NBA Summer League, Yang, from China, expressed his desire to one day receive an autographed photo from his idol.

Jokic has two older brothers, Nemanja and Strahinja. Strahinja Jokic is the oldest, has played professional basketball overseas, and has a background in MMA. He went viral during the NBA Summer League for sitting behind the bench during a Nuggets game, and he looked like a giant.
