Late in the first half of Game 4 of the Denver Nuggets-Phoenix Suns second-round playoff series, things got heated. Nikola Jokic was assessed a technical foul after he knocked Suns owner Mat Ishbia back after a courtside confrontation.
After a play, Ishbia found himself with the ball in his hands. Jokic tried to take the ball to set up a quick inbounds play. When the ball fell into another fan’s hands, Jokic pushed Ishbia back with his forearm and Ishbia fell into his seat.
Jokic was given a technical foul for making deliberate contact with a spectator, which neither he nor anyone from the Nuggets thought was fair.
“(Official Tony Brothers) told me I was elbowing the fan,” Jokic said. “But the fan put the hand on me first. So, I thought the league’s supposed to protect us or whatever, but maybe I’m wrong, so we will see.”
Jokic added, “He’s a fan, isn’t he? He cannot influence the game by holding the ball.”
Denver coach Michael Malone said he thought it was “crazy” that Nokic got a technical foul. When asked if it being Ishbia made a difference, Malone was clear in his thoughts.
“I don’t give a s***. I really don’t care,” Malone replied.
Draymond Green reportedly tried to end his beef with Tristan Thompson at an ESPYs afterparty hosted by LeBron James, but Thompson escalated it.
The Pistons are claiming Jordan McRae off waivers after the swingman agreed to a buyout with the Nuggets, league sources say.
