Jokic can play in Game 5 after a fine, not a suspension

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic will have to pay a 25 000 dollar fine for his altercation with Phoenix Suns CEO Mat Ishbia.

The Nuggets will not be suspended and can play in Game 5 on Tuesday at home, which can be crucial after the series is even 2-2.

Sun’s owner also said he doesn’t want Nikola to be suspended on social media.

“Great victory for the Phoenix in Game 4 in a phenomenal series so far!” the owner shared on Twitter. “That must be and is the only story. Suspending or fining Jokic over last night’s altercation is not proper. I have a lot of respect for Nikola and don’t want something like that to happen. Delighted for the next match! Go, Phoenix!”
