Nikola Jokic, the star player for the Denver Nuggets, put on a remarkable display in their recent game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He scored a triple-double, scoring 28 points, recording 11 assists, and grabbed 14 rebounds. Despite his impressive performance, the Nuggets fell short, losing a close game by a score of 122-126 to the Clippers.
The game showcased an electrifying atmosphere packed with exhilarating moments. Nevertheless, the standout highlight happened during Jokic’s free throws. As Jokic stepped up to the line, a devoted Clippers fan in the stands captured the attention of those around him.
A fan wearing a vibrant horse mask quickly became the center of attention. He playfully trolled Jokic by holding up a sign that read, “Dad, I Miss You.” Tomer Azarly recently shared a photo of the incident on X (formerly Twitter), which prompted hilarious reactions from fans.
