Will Nikola Jokić be suspended after his run-in with Suns owner Mat Ishbia? 'The league will treat this with the utmost seriousness.' Sam_Vecenie and JonKrawczynski on what could and should happen:
national writer Sam Vecenie and senior writer Jon Krawczynski to analyze what they saw, what they believe should happen and what they think will happen based on what the NBA rulebook says and the league’s history of ruling on such incidents.Why in the world did Ishbia choose to get into Jokić’s personal space? The video makes it look like Ishbia touched Jokić on the big man’s hip/back. And then when Jokić gently pushed Ishbia with his forearm, I knew that this would be “a thing” on the internet.
The former player in him likely kicked in there. We all know that on the court, when someone tries to grab the ball, the last thing you do is let go of it. If that’s the initial reaction, fine. But he has to find some sense and not push up on Jokić after the initial tussle. He just has to know better than to escalate a situation with an opposing player during any game, let alone a playoff game.
But I’m looking at the incident itself on top of the stakes. It was a little bit of a confrontation. It lasted like eight seconds. No one was hurt. It didn’t touch off a larger reaction from fans or players. It was a quick confrontation. Both parties moved on and my guess is that Ishbia would not want to see Jokić suspended.
Let’s just all move on with our lives. This happened. It’s over. That’s all it has to be. No need to put the thumb on the scale of a playoff series over this.I believe that the league will not suspend him. I’m not totally convinced that, even by the letter of the law, Jokić actually broke the rule in regard to player conduct. That refers to going into the stands as a player.
