Denver's Nikola Jokic reaching for the ball after pushing Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference semi-finals on Sunday.LOS ANGELES - Denver Nuggets centre Nikola Jokic was fined US$25,000 by the National Basketball Association on Monday but will not be subject to a suspension after an on-court run-in with Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Game 4 of the Western Conference semi-finals.
After Jokic blocked Deandre Ayton’s lay-up attempt, Suns guard Josh Okogie and Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scrambled for the loose ball, with Okogie – and the ball – flying into the first row of seats, close to where Ishbia was sitting. The gesture sent Ishbia back into his seat, where he flailed his arms up into the air as fans in the surrounding area reacted with shock.“Great win for the Suns last night in an amazing series so far! That should be and is the only story,” Ishbia tweeted on Monday. “Suspending or fining anyone over last night’s incident would not be right. I have alot of respect for Jokic and don’t want to see anything like that.
