Nuggets star Nikola Jokić gets involved in an incident with Suns owner Mat Ishbia.

Sunday’s Game 4 matchup between the Phoenix Suns and the Denver Nuggets featured an absolutely wild incident between Nuggets star Nikola Jokić and new Suns owner Mat Ishbia.

Ishbia officially took over ownership of the Phoenix Suns in February from disgraced former owner Robert Sarver. He hasn’t been in the fold long, but it seems like he already has an enemy in the league in Nikola Jokić.

The incident occurred in the second quarter when the ball went out of play where Ishbia was sitting. Ishbia grabbed the ball and Jokić rushed over and ripped it out of his hands. This caused a scene with other fans in the area standing up and confronting him.

The moment also featured a pretty brutal flop attempt from Ishbia, who fell back into his seat once Jokić made contact with him with his elbow.

Ishbia selling the contact from Jokić actually worked out in the Suns’ favor as the Nuggets star was issued a technical foul for this interaction.

Ishbia will never actually score a point on an NBA court. However, this moment directly led to one point for the Suns. Kevin Durant would go on to make the technical free throw after the foul call on Jokić.

Many around the NBA world took notice of this moment. Some were upset with the call while others praised Ishbia for his impressive flop.

The Suns came into the game trailing 2-1 in the series, making this Game 4 matchup an extremely important one to win on their home court. You can certainly debate the ethics in Ishbia’s flop during this incident, but he did directly impact this big game.
