Nikola Jokic draws tech after making contact with Suns owner

PHOENIX -- Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was assessed a technical foul late in the second quarter of Game 4 Sunday night for "deliberately" making contact with Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia during a bizarre incident courtside as the two-time MVP was attempting to grab the basketball from Ishbia's hands to start the next play.

The scene occurred with 2:36 remaining in the second quarter of Phoenix's 129-124 win over Denver, as Suns forward Josh Okogie went flying toward the courtside seats, where Ishbia sits across the baseline from the Phoenix bench.
