Suns Owner Mat Ishbia Says Jokic Should Not Be Suspended for Sideline Shove
Written by SOURCE on May 8, 2023
Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia took to Twitter on Monday to share his thoughts about a confrontation between him and Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.
The incident took place during the second quarter of Game 4 on Sunday, when Jokic appeared to elbow Ishbia while attempting to retrieve a loose ball out of bounds.
Per his tweet, Ishbia doesn’t believe Jokic, who received a technical foul after shoving the Suns owner, should be further disciplined for his actions.
“Suspending or fining anyone over last nights incident would not be right,” Ishbia wrote. “I have a lot of respect for Jokic and don’t want to see anything like that.”
