Moments after the Denver Nuggets captured their first NBA championship, superstar Nikola Jokic spoke out about his wish to skip the victory parade and return to his native Serbia.

Jokic's wife, Natalija, was hit by a stray beer can during Thursday's parade. The couple’s 1-year-old daughter, Ognjena, was also onboard when the beer can was tossed onto the moving float.

Moments after she was hit, Natalija was seen holding her face and mouth as her husband checked to see if she was OK.

Jokic's family, his teammate Jamal Murray and other special guests rode along in his float. Jokic was also accompanied by the Larry O'Brien Trophy and the Bill Russell Trophy.

The Bill Russell Trophy is awarded to the NBA Finals MVP. Earlier this week, Jokic admitted he had misplaced the coveted trophy.

"I really don’t know," he said. "I left it in Sparky [Gonzales]‘s room, and it’s not there anymore. So, I don’t know," Jokic told ESPN’s Malika Andrews in an interview that aired Wednesday. Later that night, Andrews reported that the trophy had been located.
