Nikola Jokić received a technical foul Sunday after 'deliberately' making contact with Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia, prompting the billionaire to flop, falling into his courtside seat.
Fortunately, officials quickly intervened and were able to separate everyone ... however, Nikola was slapped with a technical foul for"deliberately" making contact with Ishbia.
Ishbia reportedly told the Associated Press at halftime that he was more concerned with the outcome of the playoff game than the incident with Jokić. "The fan put a hand on me first," Jokić told reporters after the game."I thought the league is supposed to protect us. But maybe I'm wrong." Mike Malone: "I think it's crazy that Nikola [Jokic] got a technical foul… He's going to get the ball and some fan is holding onto the ball like he wants to be apart of the game."
