Nikola Jokic fined $25,000, but not suspended by NBA for making contact with Phoenix Suns owner
Denver Nuggets centre Nikola Jokic was fined US$25,000 by the league Monday for making improper contact in the stands with Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia.
Jokic was assessed a technical foul in the second quarter of Game 4 on Sunday night when the big man tried to snatch the ball back from Ishbia, who was sitting courtside, and hit Ishbia with an elbow. The mini-fracas began when Suns guard Josh Okogie 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 on to the basketball.
