Won't face suspension Jokic will not be suspended for Tuesday's Game 5 against Phoenix following his altercation with Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Sunday night's Game 4, Adrian Wojnarowksi of ESPN repo... Impact Jokic and Ishbia, who was seated courtside, were involved in a minor confrontation as the two-time MVP attempted to retrieve the basketball from the crowd following a Suns turnover. Ishbia appeared to be impeding Jokic from grabbing the ball, and in response Jokic gave him a slight shove with his left arm, which caused Ishbia to fall back into his seat. Ultimately, the altercation resulted in an uproar from the Suns home crowd and a technical foul being called on Jokic, but the big man will not face any additional discipline from the NBA. Ishbia addressed the situation via his personal Twitter account Monday morning, stating in part that "suspending or fining anyone over last night's incident would not be right."
