Nikola Jokic will not be suspended but will be fined $25K for his altercation with Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Sunday night's game, a source told wojespn. More:
"Great win for the Suns last night in an amazing series so far! That should be and is the only story," Ishbia tweeted."Suspending or fining anyone over last nights incident would not be right. I have alot of respect for Jokic and don't want to see anything like that. Excited for game 5! Go Suns!"crashed into the seats while trying to save a loose ball. He landed in a group of fans on the baseline that included Ishbia, who held the basketball.
Jokic was trying to get the ball quickly -- apparently so the Nuggets could start getting into their offensive possession -- when he attempted to grab the ball from Ishbia. The ball flew backward into the crowd, and then Ishbia was knocked backward by Jokic's elbow."The fan put the hand on me first," Jokic explained."I thought the league was supposed to protect us. Maybe I am wrong. I know who he is, but he is a fan.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Jokic was"going to get the ball and some fan is holding on to the ball like he wants to be part of the game."
