After making contact, Nikola Jokic shoves Suns' Mat Ishbia

Posted : 08 May 2023
Late in the second quarter of Game 4 on Sunday night, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic received a technical foul for "deliberately" contacting Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia during an odd courtside incident as the two-time MVP was attempting to grab the basketball from Ishbia's hands to start the next play.

Phoenix defeated Denver 129-124 to knot the Western Conference semifinals at 2-2. With 2:36 left in the second quarter, the incident happened when Suns center Josh Okogie flew into the courtside seats, where Ishbia was sitting across the baseline from the Phoenix bench.

Jokic hurried over to swiftly retrieve the ball while Ishbia checked on the Suns player while holding it, as he frequently does during games, so the Nuggets could begin their attacking possession. Jokic subsequently told reporters that Okogie was still down, thus there was a chance for a "5-on-4" Denver advantage.

The ball soared backward into the crowd when Jokic attempted to steal it from Ishbia. Jokic's left forearm made contact with Ishbia's chest as he stood there begging for the ball back from another spectator.
