Near the end of a physical second quarter in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Nuggets’ C Nikola Jokic got into a physical altercation with Suns’ owner Mat Ishbia.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Jokic went flying into the stands and appeared to rip the ball out of Ishbia’s hands. This was then followed by a slight shove which Ishbia sold like a true NBA star.
In return, Jokic was rewarded with a technical foul, which Kevin Durant cashed in on. Additionally, the crowd responded with a constant wave of boos to conclude the first half of action.
While Jokic was not ejected, one would expect that the NBA has a fine waiting for the two-time MVP as soon as the game concludes.
The Suns will enter the third quarter with a two-point lead, largely thanks to 19 points from Devin Booker and 21 points from Kevin Durant.
On the Nuggets’ sideline, Nikola Jokic has 24 points on 13 shot attempts, keeping the Nuggets in the game.
