"Nikola Jokic's Possible Suspension in Nuggets-Suns Series Sparks Debate Among Fans and Experts"
The NBA is facing a difficult decision on whether to suspend Nikola Jokic for shoving Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Game 4 of the second-round series between the Suns and Nuggets. While Jokic violated NBA Rule 12A, Section Vl4, Ishbia also interfered with play and made initial contact with Jokic. The league has little precedent for this situation, but it is unlikely that Jokic will be suspended due to the NBA's desire to maintain an entertaining product for fans. Both Jokic and Ishbia may face fines.
