NBA fans are having a great time as the season continues at full swing. The Nuggets are trying to retain their position, and Nikola Jokic is doing everything in his power to help the team win. While things are going well for the team, Jokic again was spotted with his unusual scars on his arm.
It’s not the first time NBA fans have noticed scars appear on his arms. Previously, Jokic had scars as well, and they seem to appear on and off. When asked about it, Jokic mentioned that it’s been random for most of the time.
Fans couldn’t help but come up with some hilarious reactions as they took to social media to comment.
“Bro Fought Wolverine In The Locker Room?” one fan asked.
“Bro those scars look like side quest bosses got to him mid season,” another fan commented.
“He is an undercover spy for the raptors, those are the scars of his allegiance,” another fan wrote.

NBA Fans Continue To Drop Wild Reactions To Nikola Jokic’s Scars
NBA Fans couldn’t help but come up with wild reactions to Jockic’s scars. Some fans requested that the league enforce a hygiene code.
“When did scratching guys become a thing in the NBA? I don’t remember this being an issue 10 years ago, even, but it seems to be constant in the NBA today. They need to start enforcing some kind of hygiene code that mandates short nails. It’s getting out of hand,” one fan wrote.
“I mean I don’t get it… What kind of a fight is this ?? WTF” asked one fan.
“Cade got his scars the same way he got them 5 years ago safe to say those are gonna be around for a while for joker lol,” another fan compared.
NBA fans were not the only ones to comment on Jokic’s scars. Several players in the league also shared their answers when asked about his situation.
“I think you see scratches because he has lighter skin than me. I have a lot of scratches on my arms, too. My significant other thinks it’s sexy. So I love it,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said.
“His whole arm’s gonna turn red,” Aaron Gordon added.
Hopefully, the scars will fade away for Nikola Jokic. But NBA fans had a good time bringing in their own theories.
